Greek Yoghurt and Berry “Pops”

January 9, 2010 Recipes

Ok. It’s hot. Bloody hot!   “Ζεστη” as we say in Greek.  (And I’m sweating like a mad Greek!)  I want something that will cool me down and calm me down.  It’s fierce out there!  And it will be the same tomorrow apparently.

When it comes to seafood, it’s definitely a weakness with me.  And I don’t mean eating it!  I’m actually talking about cooking it!  Yes, it’s an area that I require more practice in.  Fish wasn’t a common dish for me when growing up.  I suppose it

Kohlrabi and Greens Pie

December 2, 2009 Recipes

Where would we be without “pita”?  In this instance I refer to pita as meaning a Greek pie-very similar to my spanakopita or spinach and fetta pie.  Pites (plural) in Greece come in many shapes and forms and are very much dictated by regionality, ingredients and local customs.   Anyone (you know…those people who proclaim [...]
