Kalofagas Greek Christmas Dinner Recap
It seems that these Greek Supper Clubs keep getting better and better! I think it’s a combo of getting more comfortable in the kitchen space we’ve been using of late (Aphrodite Cooks Studio) and I am getting the hang of cooking for large parties – not entertaining at home. I do think that many restaurants […]
Greek Style Sunday Roast
This dish is inspired by the memories of having large family gatherings on Sundays. I mean large when aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents also show up for lunch/dinner and lots of food would be prepared and served to feed the Greek appetites. My dad taught me how to roast Prime Rib but my mom taught me […]

Olive Oil Poached Cod With Spanakorizo
I love fish and seafood and when I am in Greece I probably eat it in some form every day. Despite living in Canada where we have a very good supply of fish and seafood, there’s a lack in Mediterranean seafood and that’s okay. Eat local, right? This past summer I did a cooking gig […]
Feta Cheese in Phyllo With Honey & Sesame
When in Greece you’ll likely dine at one of the tavernas that dot the entire country. These eateries are more informal, great meeting/gathering places for family and friends and usually the prices are affordable. I love taverna fare as you often get a combo of classics and some of the chef/owner’s creativity in the menu […]
Rigatoni With Mushrooms & Cheese
I’ve always loved mushrooms (ever since I was a kid) and besides them being healthy for you (great boost to your immune system), they are also versatile. Mushrooms are a great side dish, they add great flavour to stocks and sauces, you can add them to an omelet, make a soup, fry them, grill them, […]

Recap: My Big Fat Greek Dinner With Reel Eats
Just over a week ago I cooked a meal for over 30 food and cinema enthusiasts organized by my friends at Real Eats. The evening’s theme was centered around the very popular comedy “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” and I was given the pleasure of creating a menu that would pay homage to the movie. […]

I made this dish last week for a dinner organized by my friends at Reel Eats. They host dinners that are inspired by food-centric movies. They picked My Greek Fat Greek Wedding and asked me to create a menu. The main course was lamb shanks with kritharaki…Giouvetsi as Greek call it but to pull off […]
