Focaccia is an Italian flat oven-baked bread product, similar in style and texture to pizza dough. It is very similar to the Greek flatbread named lagana , which I have posted some time ago.
Main Dishes
Fakes (pronounced fakhés) is a Greek vegan lentil soup with vegetables. It is of high nutritional value which makes it perfect for the cold days!
Kluski z Kapusta is a traditional Polish dish with cabbage and pasta. I made a few tweaks of my own, adding Greek ingredients.
Moschari Kokkinisto is a Greek stewed recipe with veal. We don’t prefer beef in Greece so most of the Greek dishes are made with veal. Kokkinisto in Greek means “reddened” which is the final outcome of a veal dished cooked in red wine and tomato.
Quince (Kydoni in Greek), is known from ancient years and its cultivation is said to have preceded that of the apple culture.
This Sweet and Savoury Pork Tenderloin with Quince, Prunes and Chestnuts is a flavour-packed dish that combines succulent pork tenderloin with the rich, fruity sweetness of quinces and the earthy goodness of chestnuts.

I have tried nearly all type of Greek and Cypriot sausages and not that I don’t like them all but these ones with orange flavour are my favourite.
