Melomakarona “Stars”

December 15, 2009 Greek Food

The baking is continuing!  (Truth be told I made these about a week ago and distributed them at a friend’s Xmas party).  Melomakarona, along with kourabiethes are a festive biscuit or cookie made usually around Christmas and New Year.  However, I have seen them be prepared for namedays, birthdays and

Shortbread Christmas Trees

December 13, 2009 Greek Food

I’m always looking at ways to “shake things up”.  Especially when it comes to traditional Greek recipes.

Asparagus with Feta Cheese

November 28, 2009 Recipes

This dish is another one of those I had stored in my drafts folder before the recent dramas took place on my website.  I definitely enjoy asparagus but sometimes I feel it needs a little lift.   I enjoy it even more when it is in season during

Cherry Clafoutis

November 22, 2009 Recipes

I made this classic dessert a few months ago when cherries were not in season.  Why?  At the time I was a little over the cooler weather we were experiencing and wanted to give my spirits a little lift.  The bad thing about doing such things is paying a premium for the cherries!  In Australia, [...]
