June 11, 2009 Greek Food

Cooler weather demands comfort food.  And lots of red wine!  That’s my motto and I’m sticking to it!  Seriously though, that’s probably the best part about winter.  The stews, braises and casseroles.  This time around I wanted to attempt that classic Greek dish called “stifado“.  It’s a one pot aromatic stew utilising baby onions, red [...]

Apples are everywhere at the moment.  I spotted these beautiful “Golden Delicious” variety the other week and knew I wanted to play around with them as soon as I got them home.  I was planning a dinner party and I wanted to present a low fat option for dessert.  Something sweet enough that wasn’t too [...]

Ryzogalo

April 8, 2009 Greek Food

“Ryzogalo” is the Greek version of rice pudding.  Literally translated it means “rice milk” (ryzo=rice and galo=milk).   It’s something I always remember from my childhood years and I enjoy it even more as an adult.  It’s comforting, creamy and wholesome (just like me!).  My mother made this on a regular basis and I remember [...]
