Mozzarella and Chorizo Peppers

Spinach and Feta Galettes
These spinach and feta galettes are a mouthwatering veggie breakfast, or lunch, to satisfy and satiate.

Pasta Salad without Mayo
This pasta salad is such a simple dish that it barely needs a recipe; that’s part of the reason I love to make it! The second reason is that it gets some nice veggies into the kids’ diet without any fuss - they love pasta in every form.
Cretan Dakos
This recipe for Cretan Dakos, or ‘krhtikos ntakos’, is ideal for those summer days where you just want something light and vegetable based.
Egg Salad with Carrots
As the only vegetarian in the family (and I don’t just mean out of my husband and daughters - I mean every family member on both sides!) it sometimes seems like I can be an extra burden when it comes to catering.
Pasta with Roquefort Sauce
What is Roquefort sauce? It’s simply a savoury, cheesy sauce made from Roquefort cheese.
Ham and Cheese Pie
This ham and cheese pie is a homemade version of something you often find in Greek bakeries and pastry shops.
Spaghetti Bolognese
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.

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.
