The recipe for this cake was on the fridge door for over a year. Why I haven't for a year baked this cake is a question I cannot reply. I really don't know why. Even my friend Yiouli tried this recipe out and confirmed how yummy the cake came out.  And then one day while cleaning the fridge, I decided to clear the fridge door. You can imagine the situation of the fridge door. Full of...

  This Sunday is the Classic Marathon here in Athens. For half of the Athenians it is a day of celebration. For the other half, a day of wining for closed roads. I understand both sides since I was the one wining on Marathon Day for the closed roads up until seven years ago. Up until one year Yiannis decided to participate at the 5km racing. And the next year I decided to join him....

  Or better said the ultimate chocolate cake! Check out its opposite Angel Food Cake recipe here. But when things get really ugly and you need to “eat that cake” this is the one. Full of chocolate flavor and fluffiness, it is the best start of a hard day or the best ending of a really ugly one. The ideal companion for this cake is a glass of cold milk. But this is just me. As seen...

Don't be fooled by the title. This is not a clean eating recipe. It's just broccoli and quinoa hacked. I always try to find ways for Yiannis to eat some broccoli since he totally hates it on its own. Check another yummy broccoli recipe here. I, on the other hand, totally love broccoli just steemed with some lemon drops. I am so pleased that you love it also, judging from the appeal my...

Halloween party part two. The first part can be found here. The savoury part of our party included a lot of new recipes and experimentation. All autumn and halloween related of course. The recipe that stood out was definitely the strata shown in the pics above. It is full of taste, aroma and autumn colours. The best thing about it is that you can prepare it the night before, leave it in the...

Throwing halloween parties is a family habit that started 2 years again when I was already blogging. This is perfect for me, since I have the opportunity to gather all my memories in one place. Except for last year when I was already going through a no-photos-please phase where my pics are so few. That's ok I will make up this year.  Halloween is a tradition that is celebrated the last...

When the weather gets a little bit colder, brunching is one of my favourite (weekend) habits. This is when I search for new recipes... smoothies, eggs, new plates...always open to try something new! This is how this recipe was made. It remains cold, just a quick reminder that it is still autumn. To be honest, every beetroot I tried in the past wasn't that good! I strongly believe that...

  October for me is the month where the frenzy daily life is at full speed. Work, homework, activities, household handling.... 24 hours are just not enough! The cooking has also gone wild since the goal is to eat home cooked meals on a daily basis! Up to now I can proudly say that I manage to achieve it!!! This means that during the weekend I cook more than one meals to...

Ok I would never thought that my project of zero food waste and decluttering my pantry would lead to to a second post in one week!!! These cookies were the result of finding some dried strawberries that reached their expiry date. And I was so frustrated since I managed not to let any of my food supplies expire. And then I thought I had to use them immediately. A super yummy cookie was the...
