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 (…)
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 (…)
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, (…)
Koulourakia are amazing little biscuits that we all grow up with in Greece. They are hard on the outside but nice and soft on the inside. Not as soft as cookies though. They are part of your everyday life in Greece as grandmothers and aunties always have them handy to dunk in coffee and then (…)
There is something about London in November that just makes me ache for hearty soups and curling up on the sofa with thick socks. It’s not so much the cold – it gets worse over December and January. It is all about the sharp smell of the cold to come in the air. Sort of (…)
I uploaded a pic of our dinner today on Google+ and Stratos asked for the recipe. That is to say he actually threatened that he would have a heart attack if I didn’t share it. Fine. You know me, I’m here for my friends. What you need to know about this recipe is that roasted chicken (…)
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. (…)
Roxakia are a Greek type of sweet dough. I hope it’s mainly Greek but you never know. Anyway. They are bite sized cocoa and vanilla and cinnamon goodies that look lovely and taste like heaven. Avoid if syrupy stuff is not your cup of tea, but you will love them if you like any of (…)
It seems that the Dukan diet is sweeping the whole world , not just the nation (please get the media to stop with Carole Middleton and how she got her figure!). It does have some weird and interesting recipes (mainly with oat bran admittedly) and I mentioned that I wanted to make the muffins on (…)
One of the main problems with pork chops is finding a way to cook them in the oven that doesn’t result in them becoming like a sock. And while good cooks just know how to cook pork chops properly I just ended up making up a recipe to keep the pork juicy. They end up (…)
Today a nice little step by step recipe that single people up and down the country will love. It is one of those easy but impressive recipes. INGREDIENTS Fresh tortellini (I love spinach and ricotta fillings) – just get a little pack if it’s just for you German salami or whatever other type of salami you (…)
Kokkinisto literally means ‘reddened‘ in Greek. It’s basically a stew which you can make with all sorts of meat – even though each cut and animal have their littler secrets. It’s a bit different than your normal stew – it comes up with a spicy and cinnamon-y taste. Come to think of it that’s very (…)
This is an easy salad that I kinda created during dieting times (it’s all the cakes, you see, they add up) INGREDIENTS: For the salad: Green bits (anything you like but I prefer various types of lettuce) 2 medium sized tomatoes 3-4 medium sized mushrooms Shrimps (this is an easy salad so ready-to-eat shrimps. I (…)
Hero sent me a little message in Greek via facebook. She has a lot of apples and no food mixer so she was wondering if I have a recipe for Apple pie with only kneading by hand. Here goes Ingredients: For the dough: 2 cups of flour 3/4 of a cup soft butter 3 tablespoons (…)
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.
