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 (…)
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 (…)
Let’s get the scary stuff out of the way first. This is a post about soup with INTESTINES. (Wait! Come back!) So, now that we are left with the brave folks here goes the story. Mama Despoina (also my mum – she simply rocks) blogged the recipe for Magiritsa the other day, the Greek traditional (…)
My, this is a long – and yummy – story, but it had to be shared. So here’s a bit of gossip about my cooking adventure with Unilever Greece and OgilvyOne Athens for Hellmann’s. The people at the two companies found the Greek version of Digital Scullery and my cooking videos in Greek. Apparently they liked (…)
If you ever happen to be walking around a Greek town or village and it seems that there are BBQ smells everywhere chances are it’s probably Tsiknopempti. (It could also be Easter Sunday but in that case the smell is the roasting lamb on a spit so you’ll know quite quickly which is which). Tsiknopempti (…)
I’ve been watching Nigel Slater‘s (he really needs a new website) Simple Cooking on BBC lately. What actually made me watch it in the first place was the amazing title sequence. I want to bake something for the people who thought of having episode and recipe titles on food packages. So cute! What kept me (…)
Hello “auntie” Sofia! I am sending you this photo as historical proof that yes, I, the kitchen lazy gal, made at some point in my life roxakia! The photo is not very good, but I will not say the same for the roxakia. They are yummy! What I like about the recipe is that it (…)
Dunno if I mentioned this (I may have, as I ‘ve been shouting it from the rooftops) but my love, Manolis, arrived in London this Saturday. So, I prepared a celebratory meal. However, just because we’re in love it doesn’t mean I should have cooked quails with roses and the like. Cooking with love means (…)
Germs are everywhere in the environment inside and outside the house and on our bodies. In most cases they are harmless and they often help in the proper functioning of our body. For example, stomach bacteria help with good digestion and skin bacteria protect us from infection. However, there are some microbes that are dangerous to (…)
One of the most useful things – and nobody thinks to share this with you if you’re a newbie – is a list of what you should have in your fridge and your cupboard, especially when you’re busy and do not have time. Everybody kind of assumes that you know how to miracle food on (…)
This Saturday we went for a walk to Borough Market in London, a fantastic food market. If you are in London and like food (seriously, who doesn’t?) it is definitely worth a stroll. Have some cash on you too – you will definitely be buying stuff. The smells and the photos are really great but (…)
I was in Covent Garden yesterday (sun in London!) and a friend got a strawberry beer. Apparently, yes, this does exist (they didn’t just tip some food coloring in to make fun of her) Another friend tried it and apparently she thought it tasted like jam – not he most positive of comments, I have to say. (…)
Amazing roxakia by Mummy Despina. I’ve tried them. I practically grew up with them. They are delicious, fluffy and very very syrupy. Bite size too. And in case you have no idea what I am talking about here are a few pics of these lovelies.
While the Greeks were celebrating Easter I just went to Ireland for a bit of RnR. Here are some pics from an amazing pub in στο Galway , The Quays.
Some friends and I went to grab some Chinese yesterday. We initially wanted to have some Thai but that option was rejected after we saw that the Thai restaurant was bursting at the seams. Anyway we went to the Jade Cottage in Hendon. Somewhat in the periphery but ultimately a lot better than expected. We (…)
Auntie Sofia and the Digital Scullery kitchen love videos, photo recipes and mashing up Greek and world food. We mainly love GRUB, of the type that puts hair on your chest. Gourmet and cuisine are two words we just don't get.
