The Real Greek moussaka, their souvlaki and the gossip

The Real Greek moussaka, their souvlaki and the gossip

So this might seem a bit weird. Why would a Greek go to see The Real Greek chef make moussaka? “Isn’t it like your national dish?”, “Don’t you know how to make it from birth?” Yes, thank you I get the point, even though I learned how to make it when I was 23. When (…)

A recipe for Greek wild greens and pics from my mum's garden

A recipe for Greek wild greens and pics from my mum’s garden

These days my sister and I are at my mum’s and my stepdad’s house in Atalanti Greece. You can imagine the mayhem. On Friday we had amazing weather so we went out in the garden to gather wild greens. They are called χόρτα (chorta – wild greens) in Greek and we gather them from gardens (…)

Feta pie in a cake tin by Mrs. Eleni

Feta pie in a cake tin by Mrs. Eleni

A few months ago Mama Despoina (my rocking mum) called to inform me that at a dinner with friends she had a mythical cheese pie.

This is the tradional Greek recipe so it has intestines (Sofia wrote an explanatory post as this might seem a bit yucky). However, if you can’t get intestines (…)

Purple sprouting broccoli with sesame and honey

Purple sprouting broccoli with sesame and honey

Since we started getting an organic fruit and veg box delivery each week I have been trying out all sorts of new things. It’s so exciting to be getting vegetables every week that you’ve never tried. It makes you look for information, learn and do new stuff. Sort of brilliant. Especially since we are going (…)

Lagana bread recipe for Clean Monday

Lagana bread recipe for Clean Monday

Lent for the Greek Orhodox people starts on a Monday. Much neater that way, don’t you think? I already posted the other day on Tsiknopempti, our BBQ Thursday. Then there is the Sunday of Apokreo – very similar to Halloween, but probably a bit more Dionysian in nature – when we dress up, eat, drink, (…)
