Tomato Patties & Tyrokafteri

Ideal appetizer, excellent taste to combine on your table with Tyrokafteri (Spicy Feta Cheese Spread), that is as hot as we like. Accompany your appetite with beer or raki, without excluding a good red wine.
Tomatoes ripe, tasty and bright red are joined with the aromas of basil and mint, that's all. They do not need anything else to make a scrumptious appetizer except, perhaps, by a homemade spicy cheese dip, with lovely soft feta of Kefalonia, with its velvety taste and texture and of course… french fries!
Yours.

Apple & Pear Tart with Stevia

This unique Apple-Pear tart is based on a large amount of fruit in relation to the tiny amount of beaten mixture. Do not be surprised by the amount of puree. There will be perfect, in my view, results. These ratios give us a light in taste, texture, and tart apple calories.
A quick and delicious way to consume fruits, which accumulate in our fridge, and enjoy a very tasty dessert for our Sunday breakfast.

In this Sweet Tart the fresh Blueberries were combined with the aroma of lemon and the sheet of crust, was folded in the shape of an accordion, where inside the folded sheets nested a simple cream with eggs & cream well beaten.

Pulled Pork with Pappardelle

Succulent, juicy, mouth-watering pork chunk simmers in the pressure cooker until tender and falling off the bone. It gets its wonderful color and incomparable taste from the spices alone.
