Fasolada/Cannellini Beans Soup
I suppose when someone hears Greek food, immediately thinks of souvlaki or tzatziki. It is true that these two have become, over the years, a trade mark of Greek food. Nevertheless, as I was growing up, what we as Greeks considered being our most traditional and staple Greek dish was fasolada. Fasolada is a cannellini...

Pumpkin and Zucchini Kecap Manis Stir-fry
Fall is all about apples and pumpkins isn’t it? From yesterday we officially entered autumn my friends here. Temperatures fell to 20’s C and we had a brief rain too.

Apple Cider Doughnuts
I love weekends! Friday for me is one of the best days of the week. Why? Because next day is Saturday. For me weekend means a somewhat less, running around like crazy, time. Of course, I still get up around 8:00 to 8:30, because of my son, who is the rooster of the house, but...

Pheasants in Wine Sauce with Bucatini
I know winter is not here yet. I know this because temperature here is in the 30’s C and we still wear our t-shirts. But, and here there is a big but, when someone brings you game, you simply cannot resist the temptation to cook it right away. Let me explain myself. I have a...

Leftovers Lasagna
I am sure most of you if not all, have heard about my country’s severe economic crisis and the harsh economic measurements the government has to put in force in order, at some point in the distant future, for the country to be able to go back on track. There has never been a point...
