Octopus Mosaic With Shaved Asparagus & Beet Dressing

I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago for my Aroma Messinia Greek Supper Club and it was a big hit. A successful dish delivers when it catches the eye, it’s presented well and it tastes great. What I’ve done here is take some ingredients used often by Greeks and use them in a [...]

Lenten Tahini & Honey Ice Cream

A couple of days ago I hosted/cooked up a Greek dinner that was Lenten in nature. That is to say all the dishes had to meet the criterion of an Orthodox-Christian fasting diet – no meat or meat by-products. No eggs, no milk! I can adjust to not eating red meat or no fish as [...]

Strapetsatha is traditionally made by scrambling the egg and tomato mixture and there are the [...]
