I actually made this dish a few weeks ago, but only managed to type out the recipe now. I love rabbit. It’s a healthy lean meat that is very tasty, although it can cost a pretty penny. It’s a treat in this house – I save the innards (liver, heart, kidneys…) for my cat Katiki….

Pandan and Gula Melaka Poached Quince
I have always liked quince since the first time I tried it. But I am not a big fan of desserts that are so sugary sweet that it hurts my glands. I love poached pears, because even though it is sweet, but the flavours of the fruit stands out more. I love the traditional…
Greek Baked Spiced Quince
I can’t remember the first time I had quince – although I can remember the first time I cooked it. I was about to give up – peeling and coring and cutting the fruit is so hard! It’s a very tough fruit, so be very careful when you are cleaning and coring the fruit. As…
3-Tea Cupcakes with Honey Frosting
I am crazy about tea, and my favourites are Earl Grey and Jasmine. In Malaysia, when we eat Chinese food at a restaurant, like for Dim Sum, we will always have Jasmine tea with our food. And to think that here in Greece I have been told many times that only people who are ill drink tea….
Halloween Anniversary Trilobite Chocolate Cake
Last week it was Halloween. A few days before that it was also our Wedding Anniversary. 8 years! The idea to combine George’s love for weird creepy crawly looking fossils and my love of chocolate just came naturally. This was my first attempt at making a decorative cake, and I have to say, George and…
Saffron and Rosewater Chicken Biryani
I bought a bottle of rosewater a few months ago to make a rose-flavoured cake and rose cookies for my friend Eleni. Lets just say that I still have a lot of rosewater left over, and I needed to make something that doesn’t involve sugar and sweets. I saw a trailer for Jon Stewart’s new…
Kalamata Olives Palmiers
Recently, I bought a jar of tapenade from the supermarket and I was severely underwhelmed by the quality. I had them with bread sticks, on bread rolls, but it was rather bland. I remember that I made a tapenade with capers and sun-dried tomatoes that I brought to my friends’ Jennifer’s dinner party last year….
Caramel Pear and Walnut Pancakes
People say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I rarely eat breakfast, and settle for a mug (or 2) of coffee – which is bad. But the weekends are the days that I usually make an extra effort. The recent weekend was one of these productive days. We had a few…
Matcha Almond Latte
Its Autumn here in Athens. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, if you hate the season) the weather has stayed decidedly warm here in the Med. Not summer warm, but a bit below 20 degrees C at night. And that means warm drinks for me! I love lattes. And I love coffee. But I am trying to cut…
Eleni’s Rose Sugar Cookies
Today is my best friend’s birthday. Happy Birthday Eleni! I was very glad that she loves these soft cookies that I made. During my most recent trip to London, I bought a small portion of culinary rose petals. I decided to make a soft, buttery cookie with rose petal sugar and rosewater. Eleni loved it…
Raspberry Bread
I recently read somewhere that the centre of the galaxy tastes like raspberries. What a wonderful thing. I love raspberries. They are quite hard to find here in Athens, unless you are willing to pay 5 euros for a small punnet. But recently, the prices of fresh berries have gotten cheaper, and you can find…
Octopus Rendang (Rendang Ochtapodi)
Without too much introduction, for Malaysia Day (16/9), I decided to make a fusion of my favourite foods from my adopted country and the land of my birth. I love rendang, its my go-to dish when I want to wow new dinner guests. And I love octopus. I was practically an adult when I first…
