Celebrate Orthodox Easter with this easy sweet bread recipe. Christos anesti! This year's Orthodox Easter Sunday falls on the 19 April, a week after the Western churches celebrate the holiday. So today I've made an Easter Greek bread with almonds using a recipe I've found in Vefa's recipe book. I've omitted the chocolate chips but [...]
Today I have decided to cook this delicious spiced rice for dinner rather than just a simple plain rice. This rice is packed full of flavours, with the right amount of spices, saltiness and sweetness. You can reduce the amount of butter or just replace it with 4 1/2 tbsp of olive oil (to turn [...]

I have to admit, I have not been following the challenge I've set for myself as I've not been making anything for the past 11 days from the cookbook. Pfff.. But today, I have whipped out something simple from the cookbook, i.e. bean soup. A healthier option to start off the year, this bean soup [...]
