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
Stuffed Chicken Loaf with Prosciutto and Halloumi
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. My inspiration comes from observing my friend and phenomenal cook Chryso Lefou, who once stuffed masterfully a meatloaf and wrapped it like candy. Continue reading
Greek Tortellini Salad
Mix all the ingredients of a fresh Greek Salad with a bowl of cheese tortellini and you will have a fantastic, summery dish, suitable for a delicious vegetarian lunch or a crowd pleasing starter.

Its tender, aromatic, flavourful and as fresh as a summer’s breeze. Continue reading

I chopped up two lovely, fresh salmon fillets and mixed them with mashed sweet potato and aromatic herbs like dill and parsley. I served it with lemon wedges but I am assuming a lovely lemony, yogurt based sauce would do it justice too. Continue reading
Boston Cream Cupcakes
What a way to come back after being MIA for I don’t know how long. I have been so busy preparing my next cookbook. It’s been absolutely crazy; triple checking the recipes, turning my house into a photoshoot studio and eating so much cake, my bikini drawer should remain locked! Continue reading
Vegan Tahini Biscotti
If someone offered me a “health-ish” cookie, the chances of me refusing are zero to none. So creating one, was not only a favourite afternoon pastime, but also one of my life’s necessities. This recipe is easy enough for a five year old. They are so aromatic, crunchy and delicious I ended up baking a batch once a week. And they are vegan! Continue reading
