I have posted about brownies before on this blog – they were a very rich, gooey and super-chocolatey Double Fudge Chocolate Oreo Brownies. But my recent trip to Lidl (where I bought waffle moulds to make this Waffles recipe) had me buying these silicone brownie moulds. I cannot make the super gooey oreo brownies in…

Zampano’s Sunday Brunch
Last Sunday, I spent a part of the day spending time with Alison walking around Athens as part of the OpenAthensWalk which was exciting. We were together with Omaira and her 2 boys for most of the walk. But at around 3pm we met up with Eliza at Zampano’s for brunch (or to be more exact,…
Greek Yoghurt Waffles
Last Sunday, I went to Zampano’s or brunch with Alison and Eliza. You can read more about it here. But it has also gotten me thinking about making my own waffles. I have never made them – always had them in eating establishments or even frozen ones, but I have never made batter and cooked…
Salted Fish and Kale Fried Rice
This combination may sound weird to you, but in Malaysia (and according to the recipe book that Makmah gave me) there is a fried rice recipe where you use salted dried fish (ikan masin) and kailan (which you can read more about here). These 2 ingredients are difficult to find here in Athens, and I…
Egg Fried Rice
I have not posted fried rice recipes for a long time, even though I have Makmah’s Present recipe book to utilise from. I made a roast chicken recipe that had leftovers the other day and I decided to make an egg fried rice recipe (and use the leftover chicken, shredded into small chunks) for…
Honey Lemon Ginger Roast Chicken
Don’t really have a good introduction to this recipe – I just had a few lemons and ginger at home, and I remembered the first time I attempted to make “Lemon Chicken” in university (during the time dinosaurs roamed the earth) and how disastrous it was. Ready made Tesco breaded chicken and lemon juice from…
Skordalia (Garlic Bread Sauce)
There are many ways to make Skordalia – some variations include the use of potatoes, but mine uses bread. Well, Kalliope uses bread for her Skordalia. Some people add walnuts in the sauce to make it nuttier and more dense. This version is walnut-less, but I shall attempt to make it one day with walnuts…
Bakaliaros (Salted Cod Fried in Batter)
I like to call this dish ‘The Greek Fish & Chips”. The first time I had this was about a decade ago in Thessaloniki, and it was served with a wonderful garlic sauce called Skordalia (find the recipe here) and a piece of fried spicy green pepper. I really do think the owner of the…
Makan-makan Athens: Eastern Flavours: Part 1
I spent an afternoon recently with Alison from Viv@ellada in downtown Athens, wandering about and trying different food. Alison will have a post about ‘cheap places to eat’ in Athens that I will link up here soon. (Update: Here it is! ‘Had Enough Of Souvlakis?“)I have decided to compile here some of the places that…
