Sunday is Father’s Day and since I love compiling lists of every short, I thought I’d round up some gift suggestions. The majority of them are not food related- that’s because I’m sure if I got my dad a ‘foodie’ item, I would then have to endure a quite long session of sarcastic comments. Come […]

Gift Guide: Books & records
in Inspiration -I grew up in a house literally filled with books and vinyl records. I also grew up without a TV (to this day, my parents refuse to buy one and only have a big ass screen to watch movies in), with the radio or turntable constantly on. I became an enthusiastic consumer of written words of […]
Gift Guide: for cooks & foodies
in Inspiration -Initially, this gift guide was chock full of cheese and cheese related items- then I realised I wasn’t suppose to write my wish list, so I also included few other items for all you cooks, aspiring cooks, foodies and food lovers out there. (But really you guys, cheese is the word.)
Gift Guide: for the cool minimalist
in Inspiration -This gift guide is inspired by my favourite cool minimalist, my sister. I always marvel at her dedication to the ‘less is more’ rule: from the way she dresses (she has an endless collection of plain, white, cotton tees, along with an impressive number of blazers, which she simply accessorize with beautiful scarves and few […]
Gift Guide: Men
in Inspiration -Even though the two main men in my life (my father and my boyfriend) are terrible to shop for, the men’s department in most stores is usually my favourite section. So compiling this list (which, granted includes items that are not strictly for men) was so fun and easy-hopefully, shopping for my two picky men will […]
Gift Guide: for the One and Only (aka mom)
in Inspiration -One of the reasons I love the holiday season so much is the gifts that come with it. A couple years ago, a few days before Christmas and while I was giving my dad an elaborate speech about the benefits of recycling, he told me, in his usual deadpan in-your-face manner, that another great way […]
Food for thought
in Food for thought, Inspiration -This week has come and gone kinda in a flash. Between running mundane errands, sending pre Christmas presents and getting back to my yoga practice, I also spent quite a bit of time making scary amounts of hummus and spinach pie for a private event. Now I’m more than ready for the weekend, which will include […]
Food for thought
in Food for thought, Inspiration -I’m back home for the summer and my days are now filled with faces I’ve been missing for far too long, blinding sun, hot weather and familiar songs. Food wise, I’ve been overwhelmed by my mom’s terrific dishes once again, the beautiful fresh produce in our local farmers market and all the ice cream and cheese […]
Cavolo nero, pine nut & cranberry quick pasta
in Savoury, Taste -Last Friday night I arrived back home in Athens for the holidays. Ever since, I’ve been in the midsts of a tornado of love, affection, confrontation and laziness. Along with my sister, I’ve also been caught up in a semi-frantic, absolutely childish, totally satisfying holiday mode, which includes blow up candycanes, so many fairy lights, […]
