I love yogurt in cakes. It gives moisture and a nice tang. So, this was inevitable. This time of year, take one stroll at any fruit market in Cyprus and you will taste the best, sweetest, firmest, juiciest cherries, bursting with freshness and flavour. I must admit it was hard for me to pit them instead of eating them all, but one has to sacrifice one’s cravings for the potential of a great cake. Continue reading
I said to myself I wasn’t going to post this recipe until September, on the first rainy, gloomy day. But I couldn’t help it. It seems YOU NEED this recipe as much as I do, even on a hot summer’s day. Besides, brownies are the best excuse for a giant scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Continue reading
I’ve been experimenting with different ways to stuff a chicken loaf and finally, this is IT! It’s easy and foolproof. No kitchen twine, no stuffing spilling out, just a great looking and tasting chicken loaf.

Its tender, aromatic, flavourful and as fresh as a summer’s breeze. Continue reading
The salmon patty turned into a loaf. Yes, this is indeed my fresh salmon patty recipe. Same great taste, in less time. I didn’t use canned salmon like most salmon loaf recipes out there. I chopped up two lovely, fresh salmon fillets and mixed them with mashed sweet potato and aromatic herbs like dill and parsley.
