Do you use vine? There are some gems in there, like the frappe coffee by our indigo boy.
Here is Auntie Sofia’s version:

“Apple pie” the alcoholic
Of course we love food but one should not forget drinking. We do have a number of recipes in the Greek side of the blog for making some drinks but now it’s time to make Raki Apple Pie. Not exactly… pie of course.
Vine harvest and wine juice in Greece
I don’t know if you’ve watched old films with vine harvests and wine juice making or wine making but they always seem to contain plucky villagers without shoes stepping on the grapes. That’s all very well and dandy but apparently it hardly ever happens any more.
The team in Atalanti, Greece, went about finding out what actually does happen nowadays to get wine juice. This is effectively the process before one starts wine making. A lot of people in Greece with their own grapes will just take them to a patitiri (the place where the grapes are literally ‘stepped on’) to get wine juice. They then take the wine juice and make their own wine at home.
VIDEO | Making Frappé (Greek iced instant coffee)
Here I am with the first ever Digital Scullery video in English. Cheers to all the friends of the Greek blog for the idea, by the way if people hate the video I’m blaming you 😉
I honestly thought about doing the Greek accent but I sound so fake that I just stuck to my own. So no funnies there I think. Anyway.
In this first ever Digital Scullery video in English the only classic recipe from modern Greece I could think of was the Frappé coffee – beloved in Greece. The actual phrase “drinking Frappé ” in Greek has become sort of like a cultural symbol. Depending on the context it could mean that you’re just chilling or – in some cases – that you are just lazying about.
Sour Power (part A) | Cool lemonade
This goes to all of you out there – in an attempt to take you back to our years of innocence and lemonade.
I was always a sour kid. My mum says that I was a baby when I started eating raw lemons and my face use to go all funny from the sour and burning taste but I used to keep on eating.
I swear, this started out as a Cretan Limoncello…
Panagiotis Plotas is an old friend who sends recipes from time to time. Today, he went for some Cretan limoncello.
