Our parents always plant a beautiful, plentiful, impressive garden. We've been inspired by them and we each grow our own vegetables, herbs and fruit as well, on a much smaller scale. Although our dad is quite busy in his garden oasis, we often come home from work to find that he has paid our gardens a visit, to make sure things are all right. He stakes the tomatoes, waters the veggies, cuts away any yellowed lettuce leaves, and he pays a lot of attention to the cucumbers. They seem to always be a little finicky. Does anyone else have trouble growing cucumbers!? When we are lucky (or when our dad has been around quite a bit), and the cucumbers are abundant, we like to make this simple and refreshing cucumber salad. Quick and easy, it hits the spot, especially during hot summer days. For the recipe, and to learn a little bit more about cucumbers, head on over to our blog. Hope everyone had a great start to the week! . . .

We Greeks love our syrup cakes. We can take something already delicious and make it even more so by pouring a beautiful, infused syrup over it. Sticky, sweet, sensational... revani is definitely one of those desserts. There are versions of this sweet semolina cake all over, particularly in the Middle East, with as many variations as there are families who make them. Often times, the difference lies in the flavouring of the syrup, other times it is in the proportion of semolina to flour used. In our case, our family loves to make their revani with coconut...for which there is apparently much heated debate. Because coconuts do not grow in Greece, some people believe that using them in revani is wrong. Well, maybe...but it's also delicious, so we say...be a rebel! Use the coconut! For the complete recipe, our revani making helpful hints and tips, head on over to our blog. . . .

Raise your hand if you like to eat weeds. We'll hazard a guess and say that if you don't like to eat weeds, it's because you've never actually tried them :)Greeks are renowned for eating Horta, which is a term used to refer to a number of wild growing greens, but in our family horta refers to dandelion greens. Growing up we had a love-hate (mainly hate) relationship with horta, which included picking them in open fields and then spending entire afternoons washing them. As adults, we not only appreciate the delicious flavour of horta, but more importantly, we appreciate the memories of these family excursions which are so integral to our culture and family story. Because of this, horta have become one of our favourite foods, and it's one of the most popular posts on our website. If you want to read more about our horta history, learn about how you can forage for your own wild greens, and how to cook up this absolutely delightful weed, head on over to our blog. Have a great Wednesday friends. . . .

It's warm out and the living is easy...or at least easier than it is in the freezing dead of winter. This time of year we find ourselves spending a lot of time outdoors, whether it is picnicking, grilling or snacking by the pool. Such a leisurely lifestyle lends itself to quick lunches or side dishes which can come together in a snap, and this chickpea salad 🥗fits the bill. Now we almost always use dried beans when cooking, but that just seems to defeat the purpose of a hurry-and-get-some-food-ready-so-we-can-continue-lazing-on-the-lounge-chair kind of vibe. So we turned to canned, and you can too 🙂 Head on over to our blog to get the recipe for this super salad. Enjoy the week friends...we think that it's going to be grand! . . .

Our neighborhood growing up was filled with kids our age and our free time was spent gathering together to play dodge ball, ride our bikes or head to the corner store for popsicles and sip-sacs. We would head indoors only for lunch and bathroom breaks. It was a blessed childhood. In order not to interrupt our time with friends too much, we would often invite them to our place so that we could lunch together...and biftekia with french fries were often served. Head on over to our blog for the complete recipe and to learn more about biftekia...or, as we like to call them...the Greek cousin of the hamburger and meatball. 😊Cute story... our father has become quite a “food blogger” , he definitely has an opinion on how we should style our food..if you swipe, the second picture is his styling! He was quite proud of himself, so cute! 😍. . . .

Whoever invented meat on a stick...was a genius. Is there a more perfect way to serve and enjoy grilled cubes of marinated meat? We don't think so, and our parents' recipe for pork souvlaki is pretty darn perfect. It is both tender and flavourful, and we love to serve souvlaki with a side of tzatziki, some rice or french fries and a tomato salad. Making your own souvlaki is actually pretty straightforward, and kind of fun. Head on over to our blog for the recipe, and some helpful hints. If you want a recipe for tzatziki, vegetable studded rice and french fries...you can find those there too! Mia Kouppa is a wealth of deliciousness. 🙂 🙂. . . .

We love orange! How could anyone not love a colour that is vibrant, happy, cheery and so, so bright?! If you happen to hate orange, we'll worry...but still love you 🙂 Orange is show-stopping and part of the reason we love this carrot salad 🥕 is because it is so lovely to look at. The other reason (the more important reason) is because this salad of carrots🥕, turnip, apples🍏 and pomegranate is so full of flavour; it is truly a great grated salad! 🙂 Topped with a honey dressing🍯, we think you'll be making this simple salad again and again, and smile as you are doing so, because....well....orange 🙂 . .

How can we let #nationalcheeseday go by, without a shout-out to the King of Cheese (at least in our households, 😁), the delicious, the classic, the awesome #feta A delicious breakfast, lunch, snack or even dinner, this assembly of ingredients takes basically just a few minutes, and it is so fresh tasting, we often end up making it time and time again. . . To prepare: -toast your bread (if this is your preference)🥖 -drizzle the bread with some olive oil -top with fresh slices of tomato🍅 -top the tomato with slabs of feta -sprinkle some oregano, and more olive oil . . That’s it! Simple, nutritious and delicious.

So it seems to be #nationaldoughnutday (or donut if you prefer) day! Well, these aren't doughnuts but they are round and have a hole...so we say, close enough!! We're super excited to share our crazy addictive kouloures (Greek sesame bread rings) with you and to do so while also participating in the #Getminimal challenge. We are totally with @twolovesstudio in that less is often more, especially when it allows food to take center stage! Can't wait to see what others contribute to this fun initiative. If you want the recipe to these non-doughnut, doughnut shaped kouloures, head on over to our blog! See you there .. . . .
