Ham and Cheese Pie

This ham and cheese pie is a homemade version of something you often find in Greek bakeries and pastry shops.

Custard and Jelly Dessert

This custard jelly dessert is a real classic sweet that often appears at our family gatherings in Greece.

Ok, so my ‘traditional spaghetti bolognese’ is something you likely wouldn’t see in Italy! Contrary to popular belief, Italians wouldn’t eat spaghetti Bolognese - they would more likely eat tagliatelle with ragù.

Healthy Cookie Rocks

This recipe for filling, oat-based cookies is probably the healthiest biscuit recipe I’ve come up with so far! And ok, healthy might be a stretch, but the recipe has plenty of goodness in it, and none of the terrible preservatives etc you encounter in.

Authentic Greek Tzatziki

Tzatziki is probably one of those Greek recipes that needs no introduction! This famous dip is a creamy and refreshing mixture of thick Greek yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and olive oil.

Orange Filo Pie

I always do lots of research to make sure a recipe is exactly how I want; I usually try a few iterations, varying ingredients and quantities to finely tune the recipe.

Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes

I don’t know about you, but sometimes food goes down a lot better when it seems like a ‘treat’! These healthy banana oat pancakes are a real ‘treat’ - but nutritionally they’re good for you too, so it’s a win-win! Banana pancakes were always a weekend.

Spinach Tart

I like to make a good old spinach pie, a Spanakopita, but this mixes up that old favourite into something new.

Greek Tomato and Feta Fritters

These Greek tomato and feta fritters, or ‘ntomatokeftedes’ in Greek, are a real favourite of mine.

Honey Orange Glazed Salmon

I really like fish, but salmon? Nope.

Dolmadakia Stuffed Vine Leaves with Rice

Dolmadakia, or stuffed vine leaves, are probably something you’ve seen on the menu at a Greek restaurant, found in a deli, or have tried if you’ve ever visited Greece.

Chocolate Mosaic with Halva

We love chocolate in my house! This no-bake chocolate fridge cake creation was masterminded by my sister, who once brought ‘chocolate mosaic with halva’ to a family gathering.

Mini Cheese pies

These mini cheese pies are so tasty, and so handy! The ideal snack for packed lunches, picnics and birthdays, they are simple to make and everyone seems to love them.

Orange and Vanilla Braided Cookies

These orange & vanilla braided cookies are a traditional Greek Orthodox Easter recipe.

Tsoureki Greek Easter Bread

Tsoureki is a traditional Greek sweet bread, customarily made around Easter, as the three braided strands signify the Holy Trinity.

Florina Peppers Stuffed with Feta

Feta-stuffed Florina peppers are a very popular side dish in my family! Every time we have a family gathering (pre-pandemic, anyway), we would each bring a meze dish to the feast…and this particular side would somehow always be present.

Wine Cookies with Sesame

Biscuits with white wine? Trust me, it works so well! Koulourakia is a traditional Greek cookie recipe resulting in cookies that are crunchy on the outside and light within.
