Inspired by a previous post on @excusemeareyougreek and by @yoursugarista and her tower of baklava, we thought we would aim for new heights too. We present our spanakopita stack! Homemade phyllo, fresh and delicious filling...you can find it all on the blog. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday! xoxo. . . .

Christmas traditions certainly vary across cultures, regions and families; some are embedded within religious traditions while others are developed through years of "that's just the way we do things". One tradition which our family shares with many other Orthodox families is the baking of the traditional christopsomo, which literally translates to Christ's bread. This bread is typically baked on Christmas Eve and eaten on Christmas Day and is replete with symbolism and meaning. Not only that, but this bread is almost too delicious! In fact, as we fought to keep ourselves away from "just one more piece" we thought, maybe it didn't have to be SO good? Head on over to our blog for a little more information about christopsomo, our parents recipe (and a little history of where it is inspired from) and lots and lots of helpful tips, photos and video. Hope you enjoy it guys!!! . . .

No Christmas prep would be complete without kourabiethes! These almond cookies coated in powdery icing sugar remind us of winter snow and taste like joy! Kourabiethes guarantee you a white Christmas, no matter where you live...especially because eating one (or five) will likely have you covered in white stuff! . .

Phyllo is clearly on our mind! It must be all of the Christmas wrapping littering our homes that has us thinking about phyllo packets of goodness. Is there a better and easier way to present savories and sweets?! When it comes to desserts, one of our favourites is bougatsa. We always make our bougatsa in individual serving packages...it keeps everything neat and tidy, and offers a perfect creamy custard filling to crisp phyllo exterior ratio. Win, win, win! Have a great Tuesday guys!! (p.s. bake some bougatsa...perfect Tuesday guaranteed!). . . .

If you're anything like us, you may find yourself sitting around with a warm cup of tea, daydreaming about what you can wrap phyllo around. Although rolling out your own phyllo is an amazing thing, there is something to be said for the store-bought phyllo that bakes up crisp and light and airy (and quickly!). Our latest day dream conjured up images of chestnuts roasting on an open fire (it must have been the blizzard outside), and these mushroom and chestnut pitas were born. Frankly, they're delicious! And we really hope you give them a try because we think you'll love them! Head on over to our blog for the recipe, some phyllo triangle making tips with photos, and to learn how we "cheated" with our chestnuts. Have a great week guys!! . . .

Growing up our parents rarely fed us anything “processed”, but there was one item, imported from Greece, that they would treat us to and which we loved. A creamy vanilla pudding that came in a blue box with a corn on the cob pictured on it. Does anyone know what we’re talking about!? Memories of that led us to create a more grown up version of crema...a delicious custard topped with a cherry spoon sweet. So simple, so yummy and so worth visiting our blog for 🤗. . .

Don’t you just love pink 💞food!? Us too! Like strawberry yogourt, raspberry smoothies and cotton candy, taramosalata is beautifully pink💗. Its colour is not only lovely, but handy, because when taramosalata has difficulty rolling off the tongue, its hue is mentioned and suddenly everyone knows what you are referring to. That pink Greek dip is universally understood to be the traditional carp roe spread which is a staple in many Greek restaurants and homes. Particularly popular during periods of lent, this easy and inexpensive spread can easily be considered caviar for the masses. Head on over to our blog for our recipe, helpful hints, and lots of pink 🙂💓. . . .

Hey guys! Did you know that it's #nationalcookieday today!! What a happy occasion 🙂 To help mark the event we've decided to showcase one of our most popular and favourite recipes. We've had home bakers from Australia, South Africa, Peru and even Japan send us feedback and comments about these melomakarona; social media makes this world very, very small! Regardless of where you live, we think that you'll love these traditional Greek Christmas 🎄 cookies called melomakarona. Not only are these honey🍯 soaked cookies delicious, but they are naturally lenten-friendly because they contain no eggs and no dairy.
