When Juliette Binoche in Chocolat serves a ‘different’ chocolate drink to Judi Dench the latter remains speechless. And so did I when I was watching the film. Did you ever had this feeling, when someone by chances shares some info with you, tells you something, and you just feel that this ‘something’ was already laying in you, is known…

‘Revani’ – Semolina cake
‘Revani’ or semolina cake is a traditional Greek dessert coming from Veria. Where also my godmother comes from. My godmother is a lovely dynamic and vivid woman. She is really ‘open’, she smiles a lot, takes good care of herself and others, she doesn’t let difficulties stand in her way and she is an amazing…
Dutch apple pie – ‘Appeltaart’
If you ever come in the Netherlands and don’t try apple pie is like going to Greece and not trying baklava; it’s really a shame. Apple pie is for Dutch people the most well-known dessert, everyone knows a recipe coming from their ‘oma’ (grandma), you can find it in every cafe, restaurant, super markets.. everywhere!…
“kormos” – chocolate log
As a kid I remember that there was always a treat in our house for ‘unexpected’ visitors. My mom used to say (she still does actually) “I will make ‘kormos’ , what if someone comes? Shouldn’t we have something to offer?” And there was never left any for no one else as my sister and I could eat…
waffles with jam & fruit
unfortunately I’m not able to enjoy a proper breakfast every day because of work. During the weekends though, breakfast becomes one of the favorite meals of the day. So today I was looking for something sweet and then I remembered the waffle maker I still haven’t tried; the result was delicious and really easy to make! Try…

french toast with crème fraîche & fruit
in my mind people and food are tied together. for instance ‘french toast’ is what I grew up knowing as ‘avgofetes’, what my mom made for light dinner when there was ‘old’, meaning not really fresh, bread at home. then I found out about the ‘french toast’ or ‘german toast’ and I wonder; how different can be people who…
raisins bread “stafidopswmo”
‘stafidopswmo’ raisins bread reminds me of school! my mom used to give my sister and me a light lunch for school but I always liked eating a soft and most of the times still warm from the bakery stafidopswmo.. and I still do to be honest! it’s a great combination with a nice cup of…
yogurt, thyme honey & walnuts
what should I write about Greek yogurt or honey or walnuts? they’re always in my kitchen and quite often altogether in my plate! it’s a combination that rings Greek bells, drives me to sunny blue skies, thyme scented steep mountains and happy hospitable people, who even when they get unexpected visitors and don’t have a treat…
“les petites carreaux” apricot jam cake
so you have apricots and then you have apricots from my dad’s garden (or your dad’s garden you know what I mean…) it’s like you think you know something and then you discover the real thing! the smell, the taste, the softness, the way it melts in your mouth; for me there is no other..!…
