cucumber and pomegranate salad @eatyourselfgreek

This salad, by Anne Lattailade is just the thing: pomegranate and cucumber salad

Summer coolers

Some recipes can hardly be called recipes. They are mere suggestions of which ingredients match together, the good old roast cannot exist without a good handful of onions and garlic and similarly potatoes cannot go amiss. But we are well into summer. This is all about watermelon and feta, Greek summer on a plate. Continue reading →by

Love them, hate them? I baked some cauliflower, it’s better than you think. Continue reading →by

So, so, I was getting really exciting for Greek pic-nic and kite-flying day – Clean Monday or Kathari Deutera as we call it over here. Yet, for another year the weather has turned a little cloudy, a little too windy and a little wet. Honest, I am no weather winger, I haven’t complained since I left London, it is steadily sunny and warm and soooo bright. But not this weekend – it’s going to be pouring down and anyone going to fly a kite is certain to re-enact Benjamin Franklin’s experiment. So food, console one self with food.
