Διαβάστε στα Ελληνικά End of August (and summer), Macedonia Airport of Thessaloniki, 35 min from take off. Those last 35min from take off you are usually standing in front of the gate boarding. In my case I was still waiting for check in due to airport’s technical issue. Although problem still not solved, personnel informs…

Fanouropita
Fanouropita, a Greek vegan cake linked to Saint Fanourios fest, also known as a way to ask from the Saint help on finding something you lost, at least that’s what the tradition is. After lots of work, a lockdown and some more things that drove the attention and energy elsewhere, here is a new post….
Flódni – Hungarian cake
Flódni is my first cooking attempt of Hungarian food. The four different filling layers looked like a challenge, a nice cooking project (taking a look at the long ingredients list you will see what I mean!). Most of the ingredients are very familiar to my cooking and eating habits except poppy seeds that I have…
Banana bread with olive oil
I was talking to a colleague at work and she was saying that baking a cake looks impossible to her. Can’t do it, can’t figure out the portions, can’t deal with the oven, can’t beat the eggs, can’t, can’t can’t… Why are we so much afraid really? So alright, I can (I actually want to)…
Bread
Times are challenging. And that is fine, we’ll manage. In the last 3 years things have been changing constantly in my life. As soon as I managed to learn a new situation, it was suddenly over (or not) and I needed to adjust again. Time helps with that. As I grow older this is what I…
‘Sfakianes pites’ – Pies from Sfakia, Crete
I’ve been 3 times in the airport on January. I will be at least another 2 on February. And counting. Meanwhile, I’ve eaten lots of interesting food while traveling. And what I have actually confirmed once more is that the bigger satisfaction for me comes from cooking not eating. I want to experiment, learn, be…
Prassopita – Leek pie
Have you ever thought of ‘why’? I’m sure you use it lots of times in your day and especially for the things happening around you coming from others; ‘Why did he/she do that?’, ‘Why did he/she talk to me that way?’, ‘Why did he/she decided to leave?’.. But I don’t mean this ‘why’. I talk about…
Butternut squash pie
There are lots of pumpkins out there. I haven’t tried them all (yet). However, the taste of the butternut squash was an amazing surprise for me (in Greece where I grew up, these type of pumpkins are not usually found in our cuisine). What got my attention was its weird shape and its intensively warm…
‘Tiropitakia Kourou’ – Feta cheese pies
When I made those mini pies I got this image in my mind: a bus full of schoolmates climbing the hills of a mountain somewhere in northern Greece. Laughters, teasing among friends, fun moments and then in my bag, wrapped in aluminum foil those cheese ‘kourou’ pies. I think it’s the combination of feta and…
‘Spanakopita’ – Spinach pie
As time goes by and I get deeper and more consciously into cooking, things start to be shape up. It’s clear to me that any type of dough is of special interest to me. I think that the dough is a mirror. Every recipe/dish is, but with the dough it’s different. Every step you take…
