Got apples 🍎 ? We always have apples in the fridge, and after an apple picking excursion we have LOTS of apples handy. Although delicious to chomp on just as they are, baking with apples is such a homey, comforting thing to do. 🍎
We have always said that nostalgia is delicious, and we still believe that. Whether you are reminiscing about the food you grew up on, or are flooded with memories that waft through the air, as a special family recipe gently simmers on the stove, there is nothing quite like a meal that gives you all sorts of feels.
Thank goodness my sister and I are a team! Food blogging is something we totally love to do, but its lots of work. Thankfully, we work great together, and we complement each other with our different skill sets. 🥰 I, (Helen) am the photographer, and Billie is the writer. So, when Billie gets home really late (like now) from the Hospital where she works, and she asks me to do the caption for IG, I break out into a sweat. 🥺 Writing doesn’t come easy to me… so what to do, what to do… LOL.. I know, easy, shhh 🤫. I just copy and paste, her previous caption on this post.. Enjoy! 🤣
If you've been following Mia Kouppa, you know that in addition to sharing our parents' traditional Greek recipes, we also like to share Greek (and non-Greek) recipes from other home cooks.
Baked feta with honey is one of our favourite ways to serve, and eat, feta! It ranks right up there with our 27 other favourite ways to eat feta. Who can blame us! Feta on its own is amazing, and when you combine the salty, tangy flavour of a great Greek feta with the sweetness of honey, the spice of chili flakes and the minty flavour of...well...of mint...you have an appetizer that gets fought over (not in our family of course...we're too civilized for that). We just know that if you give this recipe a try, you'll find it just as lovely as we do. Enjoy guys! 😘
It's been so beautiful, and unseasonably warm and sunny here in Montreal. And then today, in the late afternoon, it hailed. Not for long, but just long enough to remind us that colder, icier 🥶 days are coming. So, what did we do? We brewed a pot of Greek 🇬🇷 mountain tea and then sat and sipped and scheduled winter tire changes, browsed online for new winter gear and ate about 7 koulourakia. Greek mountain tea soothes everything, even the knowledge that our warmer than usual autumn is not here to stay.
One of us loves beans; loves to eat them, loves to buy them, and loves to store them in her pantry in pretty glass jars where their various colours, adorable shapes and infinite possibilities can be admired. It was this love of beans, and a commitment to capturing as many of our parents’ recipes as possible, that had us inquire about a soup which we had vague and disturbing memories of.
Our dad is known for his galaktoboureko, and with good reason. His recipe for the classic Greek custard dessert is the best we have ever tasted (and yes, we're biased 💓 ). Soaked in syrup and layered with phyllo galaktoboureko is a Greek custard dream. And speaking of custard, this one is perfect (yes, we are still biased!☺️). Not too firm, not too runny, just deliciously luscious. We hope you give our Baba's recipe a try, and that you love it as much as we do. :) xoxo Helen & Billie
