Χρόνια πολλά Hannaki! Με υγεία και αγάπη 💕
Have fun on this cool cooking adventure! Enjoy some good food along with nice memories of friends and family!
Tyropita without phyllo dough is not the classic tyropita but it’s tasty and juicy and many people actually prefer it to the classic cheese pie. The herbs here are even more intense and it’s quicker and easier to make! A perfect solution for when you don’t have much time or you want something low-carb ;)
Spring onions, dill and lemon are so perfect together! This fragrant dish, full of vitamins and flavours is a favourite in Greece.
An aubergine salad is a must especially if the aubergines are grilled and have that delicious smoky taste! With or without garlic, it tastes good with almost everything.
Gigantes plaki - a comforting and satisfying vegetarian meal which can be served as a stew – like main course, as a side dish or even as an appetizer. It’s a classic Greek dish and plaki is a Greek cooking method where the food is baked in a chunky tomato sauce, veggies and lots of good extra virgin olive oil.
Desserts are always a must! This one with yoghurt and pineapple adds a fresh taste to the mouth and is very filling too! Without much sugar (just the whipped cream), it doesn’t get you feeling too guilty for overdoing it ;) The dates (or prunes) and nuts make it even more satisfying so make sure to save some space for it!
The salad with blue cheese is much lighter in taste than at first impression. The dressing supplements the salad a lot so I wouldn’t be stingy with that and I’d make a bit more since it’s super yummy! Remember to use balsamic vinegar rather than cream here. For an even more filling salad, add some crunchy vegetables too!
This is an idea for a fresh, summer-ish salad with a twist in the dressing which makes it more interesting.
Fasolakia ladera is one of the most popular summer dishes in Greece. Green beans (and potatoes) are cooked in a light and fragrant tomato sauce for a healthy, vegan, gluten free lunch or dinner! For a final touch, add some fresh spearmint on top and enjoy!
With or without the chicken, a Caesar salad is always a fast, nutritious option for brunch or a light supper. You can choose to make it completely vegetarian and can improvise by using more yoghurt than mayo. It’s fast, you can take it with you at work and it’s always super tasty.
Broccoli on toast might sound a bit boring but combined with the yoghurt, sesame seeds and lemon, you can achieve a fresh taste to a light healthy snack! The Mediterranean herbs will add the final touch to your dish!
The mild, nutty flavour of sesame seeds (tahini) works wonders in a variety of flavours. Combined with lemon and garlic it takes the roasted vegetables to the next level! Of course you can improvise and add your favourite veggies. Quick and easy to make, it’s ideal for lunch or a light dinner.
Mushroom gyros is an ideal alternative to the traditional meat gyros (lamb, pork, beef or chicken) making it the tastiest vegetarian souvlaki ever! You usually eat it in pita bread as lunch/dinner or you can simply improvise depending on the mood!
Traditional chalvas is made quite differently but I think you’ll find this version with coconut flakes and sesame flour interesting!
Briam is a traditional Mediterranean dish with roasted vegetables and olive oil of course!. It can be eaten as lunch or dinner and it’s delicious with feta cheese and fresh sourdough bread.
Avgolemono is a silky, fragrant sauce made of eggs, lemon and warm broth. We use it in soups (especially chicken soup), in various fricasse dishes, over dolmades and other dishes.
Mushroom fricasse is an ideal light meal, rich in vegetable protein. Enjoy the rich, fragrant avgolemono and taste how lemon and dill perfectly supplement each other! Easy and quick :)
A traditional Greek dish is a light meal, and a great option for brunch. Made in a jiffy, this combination of eggs and fresh tomatoes, feta and freshly ground pepper make it an all time favourite, even for kids!!!
We love Imam Bayildi! Aubergines stuffed with onions, garlic, tomato sauce & parsley and then simmered in extra virgin olive oil… Need I say more? Delicious!
This dish is a delicious combination of red sauce, onions and yoghurt which gives the chicken a different twist from other traditional dishes with tomato sauce. You can choose to make it spicy or not ;) Ideal for dinner when you combine it with rice.
