Tomato Patties & Tyrokafteri

Ideal appetizer, excellent taste to combine on your table with Tyrokafteri (Spicy Feta Cheese Spread), that is as hot as we like. Accompany your appetite with beer or raki, without excluding a good red wine.
Ripe, delicious & bright red tomatoes are combined with the aromas of basil and mint and that's it. They don't need anything else to become a delicious appetizer except, perhaps, a homemade cheese sauce. Tomatoes ripe, tasty and bright red are joined with the aromas of basil and mint, that's all. They do not need anything else to make a scrumptious appetizer except, perhaps, by a homemade spicy cheese dip, with lovely soft feta of Kefalonia, with its velvety taste and texture and of course… french fries!

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.

Traditional Cheese bread/Cheese pie with a spiral-shaped slice, combining the shape of a circle and its dynamic movement, symbolizes Time. As part of the smooth endless line it also symbolizes the development, continuity, pace of breathing and life itself. It becomes our own consciousness to accept the turns, the changes and the evolution of life.
Usually the old housewives this cheese-making made it by holding a little of the dough with which they made their bread with the classical technique of the natural yeast… then came the ready-made yeast, fresh or dried and of course the quick way of our life to make us forget the existence of the primitive process of maturation of the mother yeast…

Aubergines with Feta

The days at the beginning of November, in the city we live in, are this year very beautiful, mild, sunny, the vegetables at their best and all-weather or greenhouse aubergines are everywhere. Did you want a super easy and super tasty oily food, with the presence of eggplant predominantly? Follow the steps of the recipe and make this dish that we are sure you will enjoy!
I do not de-bitter Aubergines for many years. I think this process is not necessary and taste is not improving. The truth is that over time the varieties have changed, de-bitter would be much more important than it is now. Salt helps aubergines to eliminate their metallic taste, as well as part of their juices and nothing beyond that. It is more important to choose from the market aubergines without many spores, which are tasteless and hard and change their taste.
