My recipes
I have made various lasagna recipes in the past which I have kept in my files to post for years. Here, I am posting a lot of lasagna recipes you’ll want to make for big family dinners and special occasions.
Milopita is the Greek word for apple pie and this Greek “milopita” is made with “epsima”, a concentrated grape syrup, which gives it its unique taste.
Fig and Peach Anthotyro Cheese Tart is a beautiful and delicious dessert to finish a meal with family. I made the tart shell from scratch and used anthotyros, yoghurt and eggs for the filing.
Mastic powder (Masticha in Greek) (pistacia lentiscus var. chia ), is produced in the island of Chios and comes in resins or tears as they are called. It is very aromatic and used to flavour food.
This Greek Savoury Cake with zucchini, potatoes, feta and Kasseri is an exceptionally moist and luscious cake and a good way to make kids eat vegetables.
Moussakas is the most known Greek dish. Sometimes we want to go meatless, so if you also want to avoid eating meat you should try this amazing recipe, with Greek feta and Italian mozarella, adding lots of onions, feta and a marinara sauce and topped with a bechamel sauce with feta in it.
This cherry compote torte is made with homemade sponge cake, pastry cream and cherry compote. I made this cherry compote torte last Saturday when a friend of mine called me to tell me that she was coming to visit and stay with us for a few days. Of course this was discussed the previous week …
Fakokeftedes are lentil burgers. These vegetarian burgers started as an experiment one day when I had leftover Fakes Moudjentra.
Kormos, also called “doukissa”, is a no bake, easy dessert with biscuits, which are bound together with a buttercream or melted chocolate.
It is usually formed into a log, hence it’s Greek name “kormos’ which means tree log but of course you can also shape it as you like.
