Roast Potatoes With Tomatoes & Smoked Paprika
This roast potatoes went over well this summer in Greece. Although I love fries, you can’t have them every day and why get stuck in a food rut making the same thing over and over. Step in roast potatoes but with summer’s ripe tomatoes and a touch of smoked paprika to give the potatoes a […]

Zesty Spaghetti With Shrimp & Scallions
There’s something about shrimp, tomatoes and peppers – especially when there’s some heat applied into the mix. Up here in northern Greece (I am here at the time of writing this) we have Boukovo, which is how we call chilli flakes in northern Greece. Red peppers are dried in warm, breezy late summer breeze and […]
Summer Octopus With Linguine
Here I am in Greece, having a wonderful time with family and friends…enjoying meals together in the city, in the mountains or by the sea. I created this dish while still in Canada, anticipating my vacation in Greece. You could say I was inspired, anxious…a little impatient. One of the best ways to transport yourself […]

Pilgrimage to Inner Mani
I believe that every Greek should visit each corner of Greece, get to know/understand where other Greeks came from, learn their story and see their patrida from their perspective. My family is from towns in Florina, that’s northern Greece and less than an hour away from Greece’s border from former Yugoslavia. Place your finger on […]
Tour of Krinos Canada Facility
I’ve been having a wonderful time here in Greece so far this summer and one of the aspects I love about my vacation is that everywhere I go, there’s fresh, local Greek food products available. I eventually will have to go back to Canada and as reality sets in, so to will the fact that […]
Grilled Butterflied Whiting With Lemon & Oregano
Time and time again while visiting Greece, I love visiting the markets with all the fresh fruits and vegetables, listening to the butchers tout their meats and inspecting the catch of the day at the fish and seafood shops. Unlike in North America where the norm is to view and purchase filleted fish, here in […]
