Cauliflower Soup

August 22, 2010 Recipes

I just realised that in my three and half years of blogging, I have never featured a recipe for cauliflower on Souvlaki For The Soul!  Shock!  Horror!  It’s a vegetable I have not really experimented with much over the years.  It’s not that I

Cavolo Nero

June 30, 2010 Recipes

When I first heard the name Cavolo Nero I honestly thought somebody was talking about an Italian opera singer.  Well, I was partly right.  Cavolo Nero is of Italian origin and mostly found in the Tuscany region.  It has dark green leaves that are almost black in colour and each leaf has a tough central [...]

Braised Okra

March 16, 2010 Greek Food

Today I’m adding another dish to my stable of Greek recipes.  Braised okra or “bamies” as we say in Greek (pronounced bum-yes) is a wonderful, tasty vegetarian dish.  Truth be told, I was never a fan of okra.  Especially, whilst growing up.  I know it seems like I keep on repeating myself  about particular foods, [...]

Lentil Soup-”Fakes”

March 12, 2010 Greek Food

I love lentils!  I’m thinking of getting that printed on a t-shirt and telling the whole world.  Ok. Maybe that’s a little over the top but what’s not to love about this legume?  It’s healthy, full of fibre and definitely fills

Carrot and Dill Mash

March 10, 2010 Recipes

Just when I thought the weather had cooled down we get another batch of ugly humidity here in Sydney!  I made this carrot and dill mash recently when I was experimenting for an autumn dinner party.  I sometimes get tired of serving the usual

The “Merry Season” is upon us.  Only two weeks left now before we start saying “Happy Holidays” and get to overindulge for one day and then go ahead and repeat it all the next day!  Yes, I’m talking about Christmas.  This year I plan on spending it with family but I will be holding a [...]

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 [...]

Roast Pork

August 14, 2009 Recipes

After last week’s go at poaching eggs, I got thinking that there are certain dishes that never really go out of style.  They remain classics.  And it’s often these “classics” that can give me the most headaches!  So I decided I would go on a mission to “blog the classics”.  I’ll be featuring recipes every [...]

Caramelised Fennel Relish with Ouzo

July 16, 2009 Greek Food

I’ve been on an ouzo kick lately.  It’s been a long time since I’ve indulged in Greece’s national liqueur. My earliest memories included drinking it with coca cola in nightclubs and that’s when I had fashionably long hair!  Many years have passed since then and now I simply enjoy sipping it at the end of [...]
