Blackforest, Foret Noir or Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, as is the original name (literally “Black Forest cherry torte”) is one of my favourite cakes.
Desserts
I really loved the last pesto I made recently with fresh wild oregano, which we picked from the mountain. You can use it not only in pasta dishes but also on grilled food or as a topping in many other dishes.
Patates Lemonates (pr. pah-TAH-tess lae-moh-NAH-tess) or roasted potatoes is one of the most popular side dishes in Greek cuisine.
Revithokeftedes (pr. reh-vee-thaw-kae-FTEH-thes) aka chickpea Patties is a delicious, healthy, Greek, vegan meal.
Moustalevria, also known as “palouzes” is a traditional Greek dessert that has been enjoyed for many years. The main ingredient in moustalevria is “mousto,” which is grape must or freshly pressed grape juice that is boiled down to a thick, sweet syrup.
Victoria Sandwich cake is a classic British cake made of two layers of soft and buttery sponge cake, sandwiched together with a layer of jam and whipped cream.
Risotto is one of our favourite dishes which our children love and always fight about who is going to get more shrimps.
Kotopoulo me hilopites is a Greek dish with baked chicken in tomato sauce and then hilopites, egg noodles, are cooked in the sauce.
Mpamies (okra) is a summer favourite dish. Instead of cooking the classic vegan dish, you can make this hearty dish by adding chicken as well.
Makaronia me Kima (pr. Mah-kha-RHO-niah MEH Kee-MAH), which literally means “Pasta with Ground Meat”, is a pasta dish with Spaghetti and Greek Meat Sauce, similar to Bolognese but with Greek flavours.
