Who doesn’t love chocolate? I kind of love dark chocolate and adore that bitter dark flavor! However, it is an acquired taste though. The old saying goes…….”We are what we eat”. This means that to remain healthy and fit and active we must eat Healthy! All of us could use a brain boost from time …
Desserts
I wish to apologize for not posting as often as I would like but I hope to compensate you with this delicious Mascarpone Black Forest Cake by showing you how to do it step by step.
If you would like to make something different for Thanksgiving, you should try this Greek Kolokythopita (Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Pie). It may be different from what you are used to but it’s so delicious you will love it. Pumpkin is not as easy to find in Greece as butternut squash, so you can use whichever you prefer.
Pollo alla cacciatora is a classic Italian dish made with chicken braised in a tomato-based sauce with onions, garlic, and various herbs, such as basil and oregano.
Mpamies me Mpakaliaro is Greek stewed okra dish cooked on the stove top until tender and then the fish is cooked in the stew.
A delicious Peach Pavlova, which is guilt free, with less calories, as Greek yoghurt is mixed in the whipped cream, making it lighter but even more delicious! The meringues or mpezedes, as we call them in Greek, which were flavoured with citrus essence, are very aromatic and melt in your mouth, making this dessert exceptional.
This delicious chicken risotto with tarragon, combines creamy risotto with flavourful chicken with a Greek twist, for a satisfying meal.
Watermelon Pudding is a gluten free dessert, made with leftover watermelon fruit preserve syrup which is thickened with rice flour.
Melitzanes me tyria (Greek Eggplants with Cheese) is a deconstructed imam bayildi recipe I made, which however, is much lighter and healthier by roasting the eggplants and even tastier by adding peppermint and Greek cheeses, graviera and feta, which also add to the flavour.
This Lentil and bulgur Spicy salad is not Cypriot dish but some of its ingredients are much closer to Cypriot cuisine, as I was inspired to make it by a Bulgur Pilaf we make in Cyprus.
