Food for thought
in Inspiration -Food for thought: truths about women, recipes for the 60s, ordering wine & throwing a party like a boss and the simplest, most delicious breakfast toast. After last night’s almost impromptu, utterly delicious and inspiring supper hosted by Georgina Hayden, I can officially declare this week one of my favourites in a long time. The unexpectedly, irresistibly […]
Food for thought
in Food for thought, Inspiration -Kids’ lack of sleep, feminism & nudity, super foods, seasonal eating and a spring cake- all in this week’s food for thought. I loved this past week, albeit for no specific reason; it was not exciting, nor particularly easy, but it seemed to go down a treat, leaving me pleasantly tired at night and filled […]
Homemade dukkah
in Small bites, Taste -Fragrant, spicy and crunchy, this Egyptian savoury spice blend has the right amount of heat, is very addictive, versatile and so easy to make at home. I don’t remember the first time I came across dukkah; what I do remember is how crazy in love I fell. Listen, crunchy texture in food tends to make me […]
Happy Holidays!
in Inspiration -Christmas is just one short breath away! I literally cannot wait for the 25th and the week until the new year.

Food for thought
in Inspiration -Gee, am I glad for the weekend! This past week has been impressively crap on many fronts and I couldn’t be happier it comes to an end.

in Small bites, Taste -One of the things rarely found in our kitchen is bread. Don’t get me wrong- I LOVE bread, both making and (even more) eating it. The main reason for its absence is simple: bakeries are not the same here as back home. Seriously, Greece seems to have a bakery in almost every corner; each is filled […]
Food for thought
in Food for thought, Inspiration -After spending a super fun evening with friends from all over Europe, I woke up today to the confirmation that the times they are a-changing and are in fact bat shit crazy. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been having this WTF feeling for the better part of a year now. I mean Europe […]
Food for thought
in Food for thought, Inspiration -Summer is finally making an appearance in London- albeit somehow reluctantly. I’m looking forward to things slowing down a little and to spending the weekend relaxing, catching up with friends and testing some season-appropriate recipes. Coming soon to a screen near you: a colorful bean salad, peanut butter M&M whiskey ice cream and a beet & goat […]
Mixed berry, coconut & pistachio cottage cheese cake
in Desserts, Taste -Beware, people, V-Day is upon us, with all its red and pink over the top cheesiness and ridiculousness. And honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Because for me, first and foremost, Valentine’s day is the perfect day for a crazy delicious dessert. Like this cheesecake. But let me explain.
