Let's toast to a a delicious greek meal on a beautiful summer evening...with a view. Yamas!

I recently traveled in Greece, and have tried lots of local dish, here I have drawn all typical greek dishes.

The year was 2018. My sister came to visit us in Oslo. We had the best, sunniest summer since we moved to Norway, and we were at the beach almost every day.
This picnic at Paradisbukta Beach is one of my fondest memories from that summer. It was the second day after her arrival. We made some hot dogs and put them in a thermos to stay warm. We also brought a chocolate cake that I made for her as a welcome treat. That was one magnificent, tasty lunch with my bestie.

Why go to a Greek restaurant and order a dish when you can order a meze of lots and lots of little dishes!

Good grief they just can't get a grip in the kitchen chaos! Some cooking critter's usually spilling something. Recently in the Very-Berry Pinwheels the mouse was losing the berries and now Fox Chef can't run and balance olives at the same time. Join us in this fun as we enjoy a dish where the basics with fish can be the best! And where else, but in Crete!
And above all, slow down in the kitchen!

No summer is complete without fresh and delicious summer treats! Here's an illustration of some of my favorites :)

Some Greek street foods are often vegan. Nistisima meals (who adhere to the rules of the Orthodox fast) don’t include animal products.

Santorini memories for me and my family when we travelled to this beautiful island. This was our breakfast looking out over the caldera.
We had a feathered visitor who joined us for breakfast.

I have never set foot in Greece. So I picked a place that I would love to visit someday - Makrinitsa ! A small village atop a hill with everything I dream of in a place- cobblestone pathways, ancient architecture, meals made from fresh local produce, spice corridors and pet friendly homestays- All this with a view of the hills!

I wish there was such a cafe..
I shaped a cafe in a fantasy world.
The sketchbook-like menu is my favorite point.

Fun little vegetable characters having a bit of a party! "Let's get this party pumpkin!" says one veggie to another.
