* “Kolokasi” in Greek.
They are perfect! Crunchy, crispy and perfectly seasoned, they are the best company to a summer night’s drink. We Cypriots are used to eating taro root (kolokasi), braised in tomatoes and celery; A dish I must admit is one of my favourites. But fried taro root chips are simply irresistible. Take care to slice them thinly and fry over medium heat, to retain crispiness. Continue reading
Every time my husband craves “Gyro”, the nagging begins. I know, it’s nerve breaking to really crave for something and someone (a.k.a. me) is not letting you enjoy it without the guilt. Ok, so I’m bossy! But only when it comes to food. Continue reading
Let me start by saying, this is not a cake. It’s more like a custard-y kind of cake, really moist and absolutely wonderful. This in the kind of cake you whip up when you have lots of apples around the house but, you are in no mood for piecrust.

Serve with a nice salad and lots of lemon wedges. Continue reading

That to me, is a dessert I want to eat straight from the bowl, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Continue reading
The best way to use those salmon steaks you have in the freezer or the leftover baked salmon from the other night. These noodles are zesty with the intense flavour of lime juice and soy. The last squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkling of chopped red chilli add the perfect kick to this wonderful dish. What’s also great is the ratio noodles-vegetables-fish. There is a little bit of everything in every bite. Continue reading
