This week’s Dinner for Two is all about Spanish cuisine; in particular albondgas, patatas bravas & crema Catalana. We’ll also be cooking espanicas con garbanzo, gambas ajillo, and the timeless classic, gazpacho. It’s the perfect dinner to celebrate summer! One of the greatest things about Spanish cuisine is its authenticity. It doesn’t try to impress, […]
It’s been a while, in fact quite some time since I enjoyed an authentic Italian dinner. I really enjoy cooking for family and friends, but there’s something truly rewarding about cooking a nice meal for two. That’s why I’m looking forward to this week’s cooking class. This week our tastebuds are travelling to Italy, and […]
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 […]
My Dad’s side of our family is Irish, and with that comes a love for quick and easy soda bread. Only one problem, for years I couldn’t make it to save myself. But, I’m proud to say, those days are now far behind me, and now I’m going to share my recipe with you! One […]
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve longed for proper homemade granola muesli bars. I remember chomping down on them as a kid, and feeling satisfied after I’d finished. Somehow, the commercial bars these days just don’t live up to that memory. Maybe it’s the trick of time – the bars aren’t getting smaller, […]
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 […]
A quick mid-week bonus here: Meatballs in tomato sauce. This recipe is easy to make, tastes amazing, and will have your mouth humming with delight. Not only that, but we’ve also made a video of this recipe! Yes, that’s right, you can get the recipe here, but watch exactly how chef Kit makes them! All […]
Chocolate mousse is one of those dishes that, when done well, can be a revelation. This recipe is once such case; Mousse au Chocolat isn’t packed out with cream (like the American version), it instead, chocolate heaven. So, after a few weeks of Greek food, it’s time for a change. We’re still on the Mediterranean, […]
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. […]
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 […]
