Salmon Burgers

by Peter G September 14, 2011 Recipes

Are you ever consumed by food cravings that just won’t go away? Do you suddenly have the urge to cook things that you usually wouldn’t? I do. And depending on the complexity of the dish and time required, I cave in…hey we’re only human after all! My cravings began with burgers last week. After recovering from my sinusitis and eating enough

“Light” Brioche Bread

by Peter G September 8, 2011 Recipes

Sometimes things work in reverse. You come up with something only after you’ve experienced it a different way…Now that probably doesn’t make much sense, so I will explain. I was craving home made burgers last week (recipe soon) and I wanted to go “all the way” and make my own burger buns. I stumbled on Deb’s fantastic recipe and fell in love with these

Jalapeño and Feta Cornbread

by Peter G July 18, 2011 Greek Food

I’ve just discovered cornbread. Have I been living under a rock or something? Ok. I probably need to clarify this a little more. I do know of its existence but have never really thought about it or even wanted to cook it. A recent visit to a cafe here in Sydney

“Ladenia”-with Heirloom Tomatoes

by Peter G April 7, 2010 Greek Food

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Sorry for the lack of posts but my computer died recently and whilst it’s being repaired, I have been using a friend’s borrowed laptop. It doesn’t always want to work with WordPress but I’m making sure it does today. I want to continue where I left off recently and that means more heirloom tomatoes!

Crumpets For Breakfast

by Peter G September 3, 2009 Recipes

I find myself becoming more and more of a breakfast person as I get older. Don’t get me wrong, I always eat something in the morning but these days I make a little extra effort to fuel my body for the days activities. Funnily enough, I can’t stay loyal to one brand of cereal long enough to really have a favourite but I do enjoy a hearty oatmeal in the [...]

“Tsoureki Style” Hot Cross Buns

by Peter G April 15, 2009 Recipes

I’ve been really busy these last few weeks that I almost forgot that Greek Easter was approaching this coming Sunday. Yes, “real life” tends to get like that sometimes. As my family is spread all over the place, I plan on taking it easy for the forthcoming celebrations. I wish I had more time to bake all the Greek Easter treats but that is not going to happen. I’ll dye [...]

Adventures With an Earth Oven

by Peter G August 12, 2008 Recipes

I was visiting my brother and his family in my hometown of Melbourne last week and had the chance to stay with them for a few days. They live on the outskirts of the city and pretty much try to maintain a self sustaining lifestyle. They grow everything in their back garden. Broccoli, garlic, herbs, tomatoes (when in season) etc… Everything! You get the idea…leaves my own farmers market to [...]

Pretzels

by Peter G May 18, 2008 Recipes

Soft, chewy and oh so good! Continuing in my “breads of the world” series, LOL…I think that has a nice ring to it, I present the pretzel. I’m talking about the big, soft chewy kind. Not those crunchy miniscule bar snacks you might enjoy at he local pub with a beer. I fell in love with this bread the first time I visited Germany. I was mesmerised by the aroma, [...]

Naan Bread

by Peter G May 15, 2008 Recipes

So easy to make… Continuing in my “breads of the world” series..ok..I made that part up, I wanted to feature a simple no yeast bread that can really be enjoyed at any time. Many are familiar with naan bread as an accompaniment to Indian food. It has a perfect softness that allows you to tear it up and scoop curries with it. I also don’t mind it on its own [...]

Olive Flatbread

by Peter G May 13, 2008 Recipes

Call me “King of The Carbs!”. That’s right. If there is one simple pleasure I cannot live without it has to be bread. Whether it be a sourdough bread with its crusty exterior and sour taste, a good golden brioche from Germany or Australia’s very own “damper” . I’m a sucker for it! It was always present at the dinner table growing up. Whilst bread has received a lot of [...]
