Loukoumades me Krema
Loukoumades are very popular with kids and adults alike. You have to try Loukoumades me Krema (custard)…it’s dreamy!
Pulled Pork
Last year, I brought pulled pork back, serving it at a couple of Christmas parties and it was a big hit! I am declaring pulled pork is back! It begins with a bone-in pork butt and as I stated earlier, this is the shoulder cut that’s below the neck. Good fat content, lots of flavour but after a good amount of cooking time, it becomes fork-tender.
No-Knead Pizza Dough
This no-knead recipe comes from Jim Lahey (Sullivan Street Bakery fame) and it too has become my go-to for pizza dough. The only negative is you have to make the dough ahead of time ie. the morning of or night before. The rest is easy. Promise!
Chocolate Bougatsa
Bougatsa….you’ve come a long way! Most of you are familiar with Bougatsa with custard, cheese filling, spinach and cheese, meat filling and the most authentic being “sketi” with no filling and topped with sugar.
Around 10 years ago I was in Greece in Spring and stopped in at a shop to have a bougatsa and to my surprise, they one with chocolate. Croissants have various fillings…why not bougatsa I thought? I am glad I try it…while decadent – it was delicious. A chocolate lover’s dream!
Artichoke Moussaka
This vegetarian version of Moussaka uses artichokes as the “meat”. I’ve updated the recipe to make it easier to prepare without sacrificing any flavour.

Shrimp Phyllo Pies
Earlier this month I served these shrimp filled phyllo triangles at my monthly Greek Supper Club and they were a big hit!
The inspiration comes from the Portuguese shrimp turnovers (rissois) I enjoyed last year during my trip to Portugal. I thought the filling would work as a filling wrapped in phyllo and I added Old Bay Seasoning as an accent for the shrimp filling.
A touch of Portuguese, a little Greek and a taste of the American south combine to make a tasty appetizer. I bet you can’t eat just one!
