This type of classification helps to present recipes with another point of view and in an alternative manner. One thing is sure, there are many Greek recipes in this blog but there are also a lot of vegetable recipes, so I thought that a category for vegetarian and vegan (very trendy and for courageous people!) food might make sense. I also decided to include recipes coming from other cultures so I created an additional category for “Food for Around the World” :-) So enjoy :-)
Moroccan Chicken Pastilla
This pastilla is made in three layers! In the bottom there is an onion sauce with fine herbs (parsley and cilantro), saffron and cinnamon! In the middle there is the chicken cooked into the onion sauce And at the top, there is a generous layer of almonds perfumed with orange blossom and cinnamon! It’s really splendid and worth the effort and the detour! Give it a try!
Cream of mushrooms
A cream of mushrooms that is easy and really good! Mushrooms are cooked in a pan with a little bit of olive oil, some garlic and some thyme! It’s a fine cream that can be used as a side dish or during the aperitif! You chose!
Croissants for Christmas
These wonderful croissants for Christmas or for everyday are perfumed with gingerbread and have some orange confit! They are delicious and really worth the effort, especially for making the homemade croissant dough, because they are so special and unique!
Orange confit
Make this orange confit that is so simple and soo good! Eat it as is or use it into your pastries! When it’s so simple to make, why on earth buy orange confit?
Christmas biscuits with olive oil and spices (vegan melomakarona)
This recipe is made traditionally in Greece with honey, but in this version honey was replaced by coconut syrup and thus it’s 100% vegan! And it’s soooo good :-) Enjoy!
Earl Grey
This is a fine dessert that celebrates Earl Grey tea and it does it with great success. Prunes go very well with the rest of the ingredients, and the two biscuits (frangipane and lady fingers) go together wonderfully with the sabayon cream flavored with this fine tea!
