Making your own phyllo might seem scary at first. But you can master it easily with lots of patience and practice. Use the same phyllo recipe to make a variation of Greek pies, like Spanakopita or Feta Cheese Pie. You can always buy some at the supermarket, but homemade is better, by far. This pie is sweet and sour with lots of feta, a twist to the classic Greek feta cheese pie.

This is a rich, moist, full of texture cake. Till the weather cools, I don't make the cream cheese filling. Will post or update it later on Fall.

There are more pesto recipes that I could possibly count. This is the way that I am making it. Plain and super simple. I don't add any cheese as I prefer adding it with the pasta.

A rich, dark chocolate cookie, perfect with or without the sea salt flakes on top.

Sweet and sour, perfectly textured and moist, this cake is literally addictive. The almond paste makes all the difference. Made this during quarantine, and the kids loved it. It is adapted from my beloved Tartine Cookbook.

A new take on the classic brownie with a high dose of chocolate chips

The first time I had a similar dish, was in a Thai restaurant in Hong Kong. I was blown away by the mix of flavors and wanted to recreate it at home. 

Making your own tomato paste is so easy, you will never buy another one. Promise.

Is there anyone who doesn't love chickpeas? Rich in fiber, minerals, and a variety of vitamins, not to mention their high consistency in protein. What makes this dish unique is the caramelized onions that blend in perfectly with the lemon & herb flavors.

Making your own fresh pasta isn't something to master in one go. It takes time and practice. But once you get it right, you'll be hooked. This is the basic fresh pasta dough, and you can make any kind of pasta out of it. We are making ricotta ravioli this time with some all-time favorite, super simple tomato sauce.

A traditional Greek dish, one of my kids favourite.
