Tart with Lemon Cream & Blueberries

The Blueberry is a "source of eternal youth" because it prevents the formation of free radicals responsible for skin aging. Many studies show that Blueberries have the highest antioxidant activity than other fruits, offering protection from the "oxidative" attack that the body receives due to aging, infections and exposure to aggravating environmental & nutritional factors, such as cigarette smoke, atmospheric pollutants, toxins, carcinogenic compounds, etc.
In this Sweet Tart the fresh Blueberries were combined with the aroma of lemon and the sheet of crust, was folded in the shape of an accordion, where inside the folded sheets nested a simple cream with eggs & cream well beaten.

Succulent, juicy, mouth-watering pork chunk simmers in the pressure cooker until tender and falling off the bone. It gets its wonderful color and incomparable taste from the spices alone.

Cheese Pie Cream

In Greek Traditional Cuisine, one finds many different types of pie, which vary by region, so each region in Greece has its own traditional pie as a point of reference. Sometimes they are the main appetizer or a tasty and healthy snack during the day!

With many variations, different ingredients, a different way of serving and many different names, pies are a characteristic traditional delicacy in every corner of our country. Savory or sweet, with or without foil, round, triangular, simple or complex, traditional pies are a big chapter in Greek Gastronomy.

Besides the variations in the sheet - fresh handmade sheet or ready-made sheet or even without a sheet - there is a wide variety of sheets, some thin and transparent and others thicker. Some pies are prepared with several layers of sheets in the pan and a mixture is thrown inside them, such as spinach, cheese, various greens or vegetables. The variety of pie filling has no limits. You only need your imagination and the pure and fresh ingredients of each place. In addition to the classic pie with cheese or greens, you can put meat, sausages, vegetables, frumenty, pasta and whatever else you want in the filling!

Lemony Cream Cake!

This creamy Cake/Birthday Cake, which is deliciously fluffy and musky lemon, filled with traditional goat's yogurt combined with Domokou katiki (like ricotta), gave us pleasant tasting -but also festive- moments.
The lemony cream inside, with intense acidic tones, is sandwiched between 2 layers of crumbly dough mixture, which makes it very special and wonderfully delicious. The almond fillet enhances its taste and appearance. It's barely sweet because that's our choice, so we accompany it with a sweet red wine.
We liked it doubly because we had in mind to enjoy it during the holidays, so we named it "Birthday Cake" in honor of the birthday person…

Cake with Yogurt, Olive Oil & Jam

A very fluffy cake, very special without many eggs, with yogurt and olive oil. It is one of the cakes that have the name "Sponge Cake" (without referring to the well-known sponge cake, which has other ingredients and a different way of making it), for the reason that it is really so soft & fluffy.
On its surface is added extra yogurt and jam - any jam we like - which, by stirring them lightly with a toothpick, partially sinks into the interior of the cake during baking and makes it delicious and moist. Try this easy & perfectly fluffy cake.

Savory Pumpkin Pie

It was the last pumpkin we had outside in the cool of nature in a shady place. We made it into a pie and gave the neighbor a big piece too! The last winter pie for this year. The last yellow pumpkin for this year.
I share with you one of my favorite pies. Sweet and salty at the same time. But definitely a pie for food. It contains the traditional sour frumenty -trachana elsewhere- of Crete, the land of my ancestors and whose taste accompanies me since I was a child. The rest of the ingredients are crushed vermicelli, which becomes invisible after baking, Greek feta, but also eggs and milk and plenty of dried onion and of course olive oil, from our production Cretan olive oil.
Yours!
