Apple Crisp
Some of the dishes I’ve shown you are from my mom’s collection. You might think, “great…Peter shows us deeply secretive family recipes” but it’s hard interpreting recipes from an immigrant Greek mother. Picture this…young Greek woman at the age of 19, emigrates to Canada to marry a man she’s never met before in a country […]
Cream of Butternut Squash Soup
This easy, healthy and delicious soup will warm your belly and soul.
Harvest Linguine With Clams
What’s another linguine and clam dish gonna hurt? I’ve seen many pasta dishes with seafood, some look delicious, some are so-so and others well….I’ll be nice! I usually do enjoy a lighter clam & pasta dish in the summer months but it’s the warmest October thus far in Toronto’s history of recording the weather. The […]
Mâche Greens With Feta Dressing
The unusually warm autumn weather has allowed me to continue to eat some salads before the Canadian deep freeze sets in. We’re just beyond a week until Hallowe’en, I’m wearing short-sleeves and there are still alot of trees with greenery on them. I often also pass through my local Asian market. I find good, inexpensive […]
Clafoutis of Berries
I recently won a cookbook through Food Network Canada’s “blog” section. It’s part of the overall site but here you can read all the upcoming Food Network shows, specials, previews, behind the scene interviews, and read from fellow bloggers who guest write. I won a cookbook that features recipes from Chile. This South American country […]
Thai Clubhouse Sandwich
One of the advantages of surfing others’ food blogs is seeing visually enticing foods but the recipes do not always use traditional ingredients one keeps in their pantry. Katerina of Daily Unadventures in Cooking made a lovely Curried Mango Chicken Salad and I had all the ingredients except for the curry powder (it’s almost taboo […]
Greek Salad With Roasted Garlic-Tomato Dressing
If anyone’s going to show you varying renditions of a Greek salad, it better be a Greek, um K? I, like many of many probably got sick of the 90’s food fad where everything seemed to have sun-dried tomatoes in them. I’ve only just started to get back into them. I liken the self-inflicted exile […]
Chicken Avgolemeno With Prunes
In the realm of Greek cooking, there’s a renaissance in motion. The folks in Greece are traveling more than ever and expanding their palettes. Greeks of the diaspora have substituted/compensated traditional Greek ingredients with what’s at hand and returning their focus to the classics, kicked up of course! I’ll give the example of Italian-Americans using […]
Potatoes "au Gratin" With Onions
When I first got back from my vacation I was jet-lagged, very relaxed, my mind was still on a beach in Greece and mentally I was nowhere near thinking of how to satisfy my hunger and ultimately, share my food with you. Fast forward to a month from returning from Europe and I now have […]
Pizza Quatro Gusti
Over the summer, I caught an episode of Jamie Oliver’s Jamie at Home and he did a piece on pizza. As many know, pizza in Italy is far different from how it’s presented in the rest of the world. He showed a really neat idea, which was to make a rectangular pizza that would like […]
