Milk and coffee (Γάλα με καφέ)

Milk and coffee (Γάλα με καφέ)

 

This is a silly little recipe.  We wonder if it is even a recipe at all!  Regardless of whether it is or not, we couldn’t resist sharing this post, primarily because many of you seem to enjoy the memories that Mia Kouppa brings up.  So, we wonder, how many of you were served warm milk with a touch of coffee growing up?

Want to hear something funny? 😆 Every time, like EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. that Billie goes to get her hair done, it's either raining, hailing, snowing or storming. Not a word of a lie. She can't remember the last time she stepped out of @beaute_business and slowly strolled down the sidewalk, basking in the sun and in the confidence of her new coif 💇🏻‍♀️And today was no exception. The day started out beautifully, but by the time the cut and style was over it was blizzardy and wet outside. No worries. Good hair makes everything better. So does a lift home. And so does a nice cup of ☕️ tea. Greek mountain tea has always been our go-to when we're under the weather, and when we're just OVER the weather! Head on over to the blog for more about this delicious, makes-everything-better tea. You'll even find a recipe for our Greek mountain tea cake, because cake makes everything better too!
When one of us first left home, our kitchen had a shelf that we lined with jars of beans and legumes. Many were chosen because they were used often (lentils, for example) and some, because they were pretty to look at! Those were the mung beans! A lesser known bean in Greek cooking, our parents actually had mung beans quite a bit as children, cooked simply and flavoured with lemon. Psilofasola soupa, or Rovitsa, as mung bean soup 🥣 is called in Greek 🇬🇷has now become a staple in our homes. Full of nutrients, full of flavour, and full of the prettiest beans we ever have seen!
Finally, several days after the Reel 🎥 showing Helen folding tyropitakia, and a promise to post the recipe the next day, here it is, finally. Tyropitakia are the perfect little triangles of crispy phyllo and creamy, cheesy filling. No gathering in our Greek 🇬🇷home was complete without a platter piled high with these two bite mezes that disappeared most quickly from the table. Especially loved by little ones, if you prepare a large batch you can freeze some unbaked so that they are ready whenever you have a need, or desire, for cheesy goodness. Head on over to the blog for the complete recipe, and more. xoxo
We had so much fun featuring our first set of #thisweeksgreeks that we are SO happy to be kicking off a new week today. What a joy it has been to celebrate Greeks 🇬🇷 in Greece and around the world, and to be introduced to new accounts in the process!! Help spread the word by sharing and using the hashtag #thisweeksgreeks . We'll be happy to share your shares in our stories too
We love to share the classic Greek 🇬🇷 food that we grew up with, that goes beyond the expected and well-known Greek dishes like moussaka and souvlaki (both delicious!). Going out to eat (remember those days? #covidsucks) at a Greek restaurant we always scan the menu looking for things we know, will likely not be there. Yiouvarlakia is usually one of those things. These rice studded meatballs served as a soup 🥣 in a rich and thick egg 🥚 lemon sauce (avgolemono) are classic comfort. Think of it as a hug in a bowl. In this version, a bit of 🍅 tomato is added to the mix. Head on over to the blog for the complete recipe, loads of helpful hints, and more.
We promised you our tiropitakia recipe this week, but unfortunately, one of us is under the weather, and we have to postpone it 🙁.
People everywhere are celebrating pancakes 🥞 today, so we figured we would too! Although 🥞 pancakes were not really a food we grew up on, we do love them! Our recipe for pancakes with peach 🍑 sauce is probably our favourite way to enjoy them. Thick, butter pancakes topped with syrupy peaches in a sweet butter sauce! Do you see the theme here: butter, sweet, yum!! Even when fresh 🍑 aren't in season (grrr winter), you can use a good quality canned peach in a pinch.
We are on a mission, and our goal - to introduce everyone (yes....everyone in the world!) to pantespani and to help this syrupy, orangy 🍊, delicious-y dessert join the ranks of super popular Greek 🇬🇷delights like baklava and galaktoboureko. Pantespani is so good, it really deserves recognition, and accolades👏. We've already posted the recipe, complete with helpful hints and now we're happy to show you how this unique dessert comes together 🙂 Join us on our quest, and let's imagine a world where pantespani reigns supreme!
