Classic Vanilla Bundt Cake

Vanilla Cake & Chocolate, a real Bundt Cake robust, solid, tough, heavy, liquid cake that has nothing to do with fluffy, airy, ethereal cakes, but it is wonderful and you will allow me, for excitement, to offer you with many praises.
Delicate, infused, and tender, this golden cake is simple. Baked in a Bundt pan is just as good to serve with fresh fruit, ice cream, whatever you like or just itself, sprinkled with powdered sugar as much as you like.

PS. If you like you can make it like a Santa Claus Christmas Cake. Remove the cocoa and place it in a flat, round shape pan.🎄

Feta Cheese Bread - Tyropsomo

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, older housewives made this Cheese Bread by keeping a little of the dough from their bread, using the classic natural sourdough technique… 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.

One Pot Chocolate Cake

It's been already 14 years since it was published here for the first time this boiled cake or casserole cake, as is often said. It saw the light under the title: "Chocolate Cake, Juicy" and excited those who they enjoyed the 1st book of the Kitchen Stories «Desserts».
Today we suggest another similar version of the same cake, reinforced with some modifications/improvements through the experience and knowledge of so many years, with the addition of strong coffee in its highly chocolate syrup from the presence of cocoa and roasted hazelnut in serving, which is so perfectly combined with chocolate. It became an incredibly fluffy & juicy chocolate cake -a foam cake- perfectly soaked with cocoa syrup, similar to the previous you so loved!
Follow the detailed steps of preparing it and discover the little secrets that distinguish it from the package of similar proposals.
Yours!

Lemon & Lime Marmalade-DIY

Lemons and limes combine to create a fantastic flavor and a beautiful color and clarity to marmalade to the stretch onto our bread and biscuits or use it in other sweet concoctions in our Kitchen, as cakes, tartes, tortes, refrigerator sweets, sweet pies etc… At the time when lemons are in abundance we make and fill jams with lemon marmalade, where many of these become gifts for friends.
Lemons, high in pectin and acid, make a great marmalade although the actual flavor of fruit and its color varies.
We use only three ingredients to make this marmalade. Lemons, sugar and water. Without having to add pectin or other perfumes. Although the recipe is simple, it takes time to carry out, but the end result is worth it!

Okra in Oil

Almost a Greek alphabet to the benefits from the undervalued okra, which take so long and so many years the remorse comments of the universe without complaint. Do not listen to the "malicious" who propagate that okra is "the shame of the vegetables" 😆🌿👌…
Just 350-400 calories -at most- have a portion of them, while breathing a hot pizza special you get 875! So do not listen to others' prejudices, cook this vegetable and enjoy it. We did not eat so much food as the taste buds of the palate dared to try and revise.
The process for their preparation, when okra is fresh, it is a little time-consuming, but this contributes to their delicacy and differentiates them from the frozen.
Easy, tasty and really healthy dish!

Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Very tasty Sun-Dried Tomatoes are made from mature regular tomatoes or from anhydrous tomatoes (a special variety of tomatoes, which is common in many islands in the Aegean Sea and resembles the Italian pomodori or roma variety). Dried under the sun they evaporate the water they contain. On drying, tomatoes lose 88% of their weight while larger tomatoes lose 93%.
Sundried tomatoes have the same nutritional value as fresh and to produce a kilo of sun dried tomatoes need about 14 kg of fresh tomatoes. They are rich in lycopene, antioxidants and vitamin C. They are preserved in sterilized jars in olive oil and various aromatic herbs and spices, like coriander & cardamom.
Sundried tomatoes have a great variety of colors, sizes and flavors. They have many uses in the Mediterranean Cuisine. Traditionally they are served with olive oil, feta cheese & basil for a very tasty meal.
