Summer doesn’t get any better than with a chocolate mousse made from super healthy Greek Yoghurt. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. It sounds good though, doesn’t it? There’s no denying it, chocolate mousse is one of the world’s most popular desserts. It’s light and airy, decadently rich, and when it’s made from […]
Easter in Greece is amazing, and the tsoureki bread is absolutely delicious! The first time I encountered this traditional holiday bread was 4 years ago – on my first pilgrimage to Greece. It was a trip I’d longed to do since before I was a teenager, and finally the opportunity presented itself. Sure, I’d seen […]
Welcome to some bonus content! This post is for the ‘Tomato Pizza Sauce’ we’ll be making on this week’s #LPaGFoodieFriday Cook-a-Long. Say what? That’s right, Larder Pantry and Garden are hosting a series of online events, where you can cook along with Chef Kit. Most of these events will be free, so you’ll only need […]
The leaves are turning from luscious green to all those golden, red, and shades of brown. There’s a chill in the air that wasn’t there last week, and it tells us it’s Autumn, and that means it’s apple pie season and time for autumnal perfection! No matter whether you’re looking forward to Rosh Hashanah and […]
It’s that time of year, when preserving fruit and vegetables plays a large part in our daily and weekly lives. Whether it’s from our own gardens, or from super/market purchases, preserving for tomorrow is always a great idea. As a chef, I hear a lot of people comment on making jam, chutney, relish, or just […]
The first time I met Spanakopita I was a kid: I watched my mum chop up the spinach greens, sweat them off, mix in the feta cheese, and then make up triangular filo pastry parcels. I was mesmerised by the process, and the golden-baked goodies that smelt oh so good just a short time later. […]
Horiatiko Psomi, a Greek bread, is a crusty country loaf that’s also known as ‘village bread’. It’s a densely textured loaf and is best paired with dips and rustic stews. This isn’t some floppy white bread with limp fillings that you find in your lunchbox. No, this is a robust bread, meant to be cut […]
Melitzanosalata might sound like a mouthful, but it’s a lovely vegetarian and vegan friendly dip that everyone will enjoy! Made from eggplants/aubergines, fresh garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, this dip is so simple to make! It’s ideal for either hot or cold days; taking with you to the beach for lunch, as it won’t […]
It’s one of those dishes that is infamous; Moussaka, and it’s more than ‘meats’ the eye. A layered bake with panfried aubergines/eggplants, a rich tomato meat sauce, and topped with a gorgeously cheesy Béchamel sauce, and it’s super easy when you know how to make it. Moussaka will cast its spell over you, and that’s not […]
You can feel summer in the air, and summer of course means Frappé Ice Coffee Heaven! On those long, hot, and incredibly sunny days, there’s nothing better than taking 10mins out to enjoy a refreshing cold drink. Many holiday-makers, and tourists in general, enjoy a frappé when in Greece, but wouldn’t think of making one […]
