Rabbit. I know, I know, its Thumper. Yes, it’s also Bugs Bunny. I know for a lot of people, this can be a big no-no. I was once a young-un (yes, if you can believe that) and I remember the shock underlined with a tinge of curiosity when I encountered Rendang Arnab (Rabbit Rendang) at…

Tabbouleh
The weather here in Athens has been gradually turning hot. Today was an exceptional 30 degrees where I live! And this is an excellent salad to have while the weather is getting warm. Refreshing, full of crunch and flavour. It is a bit time-consuming, as you need to thinly and finely slice the parsley and…
Beef in Red Wine (Boeuf Bourguignon)
I feel very French-inspired lately, as I was away in Paris the last week of April (and I was in Istanbul the week before that). And you cannot get more Parisienne than Rachel Khoo. Her Little Paris Kitchen cookbook is so cute, and I love it! This is based on both Rachel Khoo and Julia…
Pull Apart Dark Cinnamon Sugar Bread
I love baking bread. And I love eating food with my hands. And this combines the two. I saw a recipe on Pinterest once that I was so interested in, and I told myself, I shall have to attempt that recipe one of these days. Fast forward 2 years (yes 2 years!) I suddenly remembered…
Spanakorizo (Spinach Rice)
This spinach and rice dish has become one my favourite dishes to have when I feel the need to satisfy my rice cravings. I tasted this mostly vegetable dish for the first time at the age of 19, cooked by Elena (the same one who introduced me to Tzatziki) – she made hers with no…
Pomegranate and Cucumber Mint Raita
I love tzatziki. It’s very easy to make, and it tastes yummy! But there are times you don’t want to have garlic breath but also have the same kick of flavours in your dip. This is based on Nigella Lawson’s refreshing raita, using Greek Yogurt and pomegranate. I use the traditional tzatziki crunchy refreshing vegetable…
Tzatziki (Cucumber and Yogurt Dip)
Tzatziki is the first Greek ‘dish’ I have every attempted in my life. I was in university, and a friend (Elena) and her boyfriend was keen on introducing me to this wonderful yogurt dip that goes well with grilled meat and everything else in between. It was quite different – they grated the cucumber to…
Vegetarian ‘Meaty’ Mushroom Sandwich
I love burgers, but there are times I want to have something light that doesn’t make me feel too full but also satisfies my cravings for flavours. Sometimes, salads just won’t do. This is a healthier version of a meat burger. I use a small seed whole wheat bread bun, mashed avocado, cheese and a…
Kueh Tat (Pineapple Jam Tarts)
These small tart cookies are superb! They pastry is soft and yummy, and it melts in your mouth. This reminds me of home – they are very popular and we have them for Raya (Eid), Chinese New Year, whenever we want, really. They are so delicious and addictive to eat that his batch I made…
Pineapple Jam
Its going to be Chinese New Year soon, and during this holiday season I am always reminded of these small soft melty cookies. I love them. You can find them everywhere in Malaysia – but homemade ones are usually the best. The main ingredient for the tart cookies is Pineapple Jam. You can buy them…
Fizzy Ginger
The New Year has passed (Καλή Χρονιά everyone!), and in my recent post on Ginger Syrup, I mentioned about a fizzy ginger drink that I make with the syrup. Its refreshing, and it certainly helps if you have any leftover ‘hangover’ feeling after nights of partying. All you need is: Ginger syrup Fresh lime/lemon Sparkling…
Ginger Syrup
Ginger -aromatic and spicy. It’s wonderfully versatile – it’s used in both sweet and savoury recipes. I always add a slice or 2 of ginger when I cook beef (it helps get rid of the ‘beefy’ smell when I particularly want it to taste fresh and clean.). I also love ginger beer. The Greeks have…
