I recently went to Mirch again, and had their extremely spicy (yet yummy!) Chicken Vindaloo. And I noticed that I have yet to post a proper curry recipe, and so I thought that I would do that during the long Greek Orthodox Easter weekend. Alas, I ran out of garam masala, and I decided to make my…

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,…
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…
Pasta from Scratch
I got a pasta maker for my birthday! I have always wanted one (I am absolutely crazy for kitchen gadgets) and I spent Sunday morning doing research on how to make pasta and noodles from scratch. This is my very first batch, my very first attempt at homemade, fresh egg pasta! I would love to…
Strawberries in Red Wine
It has been a long time since I last bought or had any strawberries in the house, since the horrible incident of migrant slave labourers that were shot at by Greek farmers in the Southern Peloponnese here in Greece. I tend to avoid eating strawberries here in Greece unless I know that they do not…
Holiday Season in Athens
This holiday season was a blast! My sister came on Christmas Day, and we went up North to the mountain cabin to spend a few days there. We expected cold weather, but what we got was a very warm autumn. It got cold as we left the North to return to Athens, and it got…
Trip to the North
Autumn should be upon us, but I am still wearing my summer dresses and it has been exceptionally warm still. We decided to make a trip up north to Thessaloniki this year, and spent a few days up in the mountains of Chalkidiki in the family cabin. It was a wonderful! We went hiking, and…
Preserved Lemon Mayonnaise
I love preserved lemons! I find that not a lot of people like it, but it gives the lemon/citrus flavour to a dish without the tangy sourness that you get with fresh lemons. You can make this from scratch – make mayonnaise from scratch – or you can use store bought mayonnaise and add…
Green Tea Matcha Chocolates
You know how much I love Matcha Green Tea if you’ve followed my recipes all these years. When I went back to Malaysia last, I bought these wonderful dark chocolates that was infused with matcha green tea and it was so tasty! I have tried to make dark chocolate truffles with matcha but it…
Food Journey of London
It has been a whirlwind few weeks! I love travelling, and I am so happy that I was able to visit my sister in London and Prague! To keep in line with the food theme of my blog, I am going to compile pictures of some of the food that I have eaten on this…

Terry Pratchett: Nanny Ogg’s Cookbook
Today, a great man – author of the famous Discworld series of books, died. Death has led him away. I haven’t been able to stop crying, like I have known him personally. It’s rather odd. But I do feel like I know him personally. His books kept me company and hopeful during the darkest periods…
