Recipes

  • Samali

    Samali is a semolina-based, syrup-soaked cake with many variations. 
  • Greek yogurt cake

    My go-to Greek yogurt cake, flavored with tangerine zest and vanilla. This cake is so easy to make and never disappoints! 
  • Tsoureki bubble bread

    Tsoureki bubble bread! I’m a bit of a traditionalist and not always keen on recipe mash-ups, but in this covid-induced baking renaissance I got to thinking about my grandma’s yummy monkey bread (aka bubble bread or pull-apart bread) and thought I’d make a Greek Easter inspired version. 
  • Tsoureki bread and butter pudding

    Tsoureki bread and butter pudding! Possibly even better than the tsoureki itself!
  • Pasteli

    Getting creative with pasteli, the ancient sesame snack! Batch 1 included honey, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds and cranberries.
  • Vasilopita

    Happy New Year! Καλή Χρόνια με υγεία! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2019 filled with health and happiness.
  • Orange, cinnamon and sesame olive oil cookies

    Orange, cinnamon and sesame olive oil cookies. Vegan and perfect for lent. These nistisima (Lenten) koulourakia won’t win any beauty contests, but they are SO delicious and healthy to boot.
  • Koulourakia

    This year’s Easter koulourakia are better than ever. I use the same recipe every year, from our long lost family friend Georgia.
  • Jello

    I love retro desserts, which means I love Jello. Enter Γλυκό ψυγείου, basically translated as “fridge sweet”, which my aunt makes for a cool summertime treat.
  • Tahini swirl brownies

    Tahini swirl brownies, made with sweetened tahini and Greek yogurt swirled with the squidgiest, fudgiest brownie batter.
  • Flourless chocolate tahini cookies

    Flourless chocolate tahini cookies. I can’t get enough of baking with tahini. Recipe below.
  • Strawberry coconut Jello cake.

    Strawberry coconut Jello cake. A perfect no bake dessert for hot summer days! My aunt has always made Γλυκά ψυγείου - literally “fridge sweets”, usually some combination of jello, pudding, fruit, and cookies like Petit Beurre.
