Greece is full of iconic imagery of food, their history and landmarks...here is an illustrated story of the many things that are wonderful about Greece. Creating this spread conjured up the memory of eating an authentic Greek salad at a little beachside restaurant on the island of Zakynthos! Beautiful vistas and lovely flavors!

Delicious roasted eggplant with tomatoes and feta

A great recipe that reminds me of dear friends: Mussels Saganaki!
It's a recipe made with a lot of the most famous mediterranean ingredients.
Here the recipe:
Ingredients:
250 g mussels, shelled
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 onion, dry
salt
pepper
2 tomatoes
2 clove(s) of garlic
1 teaspoon(s) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) oregano, dry
thyme
1/2 chili pepper
2 tablespoon(s) homemade ketchup
150 g feta cheese
Preparation:
Place a pan over heat and let it get very hot.
Add the olive oil and finely chopped onion. Sauté and let it caramelize nicely.
When ready, add the pepper, salt, thinly sliced garlic, granulated sugar, dry oregano and finely chopped thyme. Mix.
Add the finely chopped chili pepper, lower heat and add the grated tomatoes.
Bring the sauce to a boil and allow most of the liquid to evaporate. Add the ketchup, mix and add the shelled mussels.
Transfer to an ovenproof bowl.
Cut the feta into pieces and place over the mussels. Add the olive oil, pepper and thyme.
Bake in a preheated oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese turns golden.

Buon appetito!

Breakfast & bingewatching and Juice & bingewatching: an illustration about enjoying a happy moment and food while enjoying one's favorite TV program.

When I discovered chive blossoms in my local weekly CSA, I wanted to try something different... so a beautiful, simple to make, wonderfully pink vinegar came to be! This would make a unique gift for that foodie or hostess you know!

You'll love this authentic Greek dish. Avgolemono is no ordinary soup. It is a silky and rich chicken broth with rice, heavily scented with lemon. Extremely delicious!

Delicious recipes can be made just by combining tomatoes, basil, olives and olive oil.

Enjoy!

Greek dishes made with vinegrape leaves, stuffed with ground meat, vegetables and rice, shaped into little rolls and boiled. To eat with tzatziki souce :)

Simple, yet magically satisfying: this recipe for a Dutch baby pancake is dear to me as it was the impetus for the creation of a Friday breakfast party for friends and family.
