We'd like to wish all our visitors - there are now over 1.000 of you every day! - a peaceful and prosperous 2011! You can see the Vassilopita we made this year in the photo. The 2011 has been made out of pomegranate seeds - in Greece the pomegranate is good luck at New Year and we break one on the floor / ground to bring the house luck for the whole year.

Below, you can listen to the traditional New Year Carol - Protochroniatika Kalanta.

Welcome to our blog! Here you can learn how to prepare delicious, traditional Greek dishes from recipes used in the home by local mothers and grandmothers! A lot of them are well-known and others perhaps not so well-known outside Greece. These are all recipes prepared by my wife Maria - she loves cooking and I love eating, so we make a great team!

We live on the island of Corfu in Greece and Maria comes from a family of chefs. Her recipes combine know-how with the simplicity of local, traditional Greek cooking.

These recipes are all for 4- 6 servings (depending on your appetite!) but if anything is left over it can easily be saved for the next day, which is what we do.

There is a Metric Converter towards the bottom of this sidebar if you need it.

Eat and Enjoy!!
