Want something delicious, simple and foolproof for the festive table? Make a chestnut chocolate tart. In the past, just the word “tart” used to be the reason to avoid a recipe and stick to the good old cheesecake. But since I started applying cookie crusts to my tarts, a whole new world of deserts unfolded before me. No blind baking, no resting time, no dough rolling, no chilling time. Just you and your blender. Continue reading

Chicken Liver Pâté & Mushroom Pâté
The best way to welcome guests is a tray with crusty slices of bread and flavorful bowls of pâté. I got my chicken livers and mushrooms from Foodsaver stores and I got my bowls ready. Pâté is very easy to make and all you need are great quality ingredients and a good food processor. Continue reading
Lentils with chickpeas and bulgur wheat
I love lentils. “Moudjendra” has always been my favourite lentil dish. That’s until I cooked lentils with bulgur wheat. This dish screams healthy and its vegan too. I got so many great ingredients from Foodsaver Stores for this recipe like a fantastic veggie mix. The Green wave mix is a combination of broccoli, kale, courgettes and wakame seaweed.

Fusilli with roasted cherry tomatoes and marinated feta

“Eliopites” – Cypriot Olive Pies
My grandmother passed when I was twelve. She was the kindest person I’ve ever known. And she was one hell of a cook! She used to make the best “kioftedes” (Cypriot Meatballs) I have ever tasted. Whenever she cooked, all the neighbourhood kids appeared on our doorstep to taste her delicious food. Continue reading
