Avgolemono Soup
The soul of the soup is Greek: we finish off many soups with an egg/lemon emulsion that makes a soup tangy and creamy.
Recap – Classic Greek Supper Club
Last week marked the return of my Greek Supper Club try at a new venue called The Column Event Space, located in East York. A full house, a great food and service despite the challenges of hosting at a new venue. My team and I had a blast! Thank you for the wine pairings selected […]
Lasagna Bolognese
I am still on “team bechamel” when it comes to lasagnas as opposed to ricotta. The bechamel allows one to pre-make a lasagna, make/freeze/bake or enjoy a moist lasagna the next day without it drying out.
Seared Scallops & Lemon Kritharaki
The first time I had scallops was I went with some buddies to Ft. Lauderdale for March Break back in 1986.
Recap Greek Summer Supper Club
One of my favourite dinners to host are my “al fresco” Supper Clubs held in the courtyard at the Bob Rumble Manor. This past July I hosted an all fish/seafood dinner paired with Greek wines and lots of Greek extra-virgin olive oil in all the dishes. A thank you to MT Foods for providing many […]
Spaghetti with Brown Butter
One of my favourite dishes my mom would serve is a plain spaghetti (Makaronia) that was tossed in butter until slightly browned, then the pasta was drained and tossed in the brown butter with crumbled Feta cheese and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to cap the dish.
Chicken Fricassée

Manestra from Corfu
Today’s recipe is a manestra, a stovetop kritharaki (orzo) dish that’s made/known throughout Greece.
Pork Rosto from Naxos
This dish is made on the island of Naxos, for sure neighboring Paros, Mikres Cyclades and even Amorgos.
