Kataifi Sundae
This dessert tastes as good as it looks but the surprising thing is that it is made entirely with store-bought ingredients.
Melopita (Honey Pie)
In the western part of the Cyclades islands, you will find the island of Sifnos. I’ve been there twice and one their specialties is Melopita (translated as honey pie). It’s made with ricotta, honey, some vanilla, eggs and baked. By the way…it’s a crustless pie.
Overnight Yeasted Waffles
I am offering an easy overnight recipe for waffles that anyone can whip up. It has a yeasty taste, light texture and golden colour. Try this recipe out this weekend for breakfast.
Adult Shamrock Shakes
For St. Patrick’s Day, I like to have make an alcohol version…Shamrock Shake for adults if you will.
Loukoumades me Krema
Loukoumades are very popular with kids and adults alike. You have to try Loukoumades me Krema (custard)…it’s dreamy!
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!
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Years ago, I attended a Christmas party/dinner where the dessert was one of those sticky English puddings. I loved how moist and flavourful the pudding (cake) was and the caramel sauce was dreamy.
I’ve finally gotten around to making my own version and I also served it to guests at my last Supper Club that took place just a couple of days ago. This recipe hot!
Kataifi Galaktoboureko
This past summer I had a version made with Kataifi, a pastry that looks like shredded wheat and it was tremendous: the aroma of butter, notes of citrus and vanilla. Dreamy!
Amygdalopita (Almond Pie)
A local told me this speaks to the abundance of local almond production on the island.
Biscoff Tiramisu
What do Biscoff cookies taste like? Think brown sugar, warm spices like cinnamon and nutneg.
