Authentic Greek Spinach Pie Recipe – The Best Spanakopita
I don’t know what it is about Good Friday, perhaps it all that Christ death symbolism swirling round but it’s always a bit of a downer of a day. I always seem to feel unwell, with some kind of headache or even a full-blown migraine. This good Friday was no exception. I had a…

Muhammara Recipe: Delicious Middle-Eastern Red Pepper Dip
I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of a baking anything this Easter break on account that it is just too damn hot. We’ll buy our Easter buns from the Bourke Street Bakery and they will taste all the better for not having slaved over a hot oven. I’ll just do all my Easter…

Tzatziki and Fried Zucchini/Eggplant Fritters | Greek Inspired Recipes
I’ve been having a bit of a born-again appreciation of tzatziki recently, which may be explained by the fact that I came back from my holiday to find two almost full large tubs of Greek yoghurt that needed to be used up immediately. Tzatziki is an excellent way to use up copious amounts of yoghurt…

Claudia Roden’s – Moroccan Sweet Potato Salad with Green Olives
When I was a kid, my mum used to roast the purple-skinned, white-fleshed sweet potato, and the orange sweet potato or kumara was an exotic rarity. Kumara is now a staple of your average fruit and vegetable shop and it is almost impossible to find the old fashioned white sweet potato my mother used to…
