Cajun Shrimp Pasta

Pasta with Spicy Shrimp in Cajun & Creole Cuisine. This recipe is a spicy, but delicious dish, a unique pasta dish with great flavors, and very spicy shrimp, which give a characteristic intensity and flavor dynamic to any pasta they are added to.
If you are not a spicy lover, just reduce the spicy amounts, but know that it will be another, different dish.

Lemony Cream Cake!

This creamy Cake/Layered Cake, which is wonderfully fluffy and musky scented lemon, filled with traditional goat yogurt combined with Katiki Domokou (ricotta), gave us pleasant tasting -but also festive- moments.
The lemony cream inside, with intense acidic tones, is sandwiched between 2 layers of crumbly dough mixture, which makes it very special and wonderfully delicious. The almond fillet enhances its taste and appearance. It is barely sweet because this is our choice, so we accompany it with a sweet red wine.
We liked it doubly because we had in mind to enjoy it during the holidays and so we named it "Birthday Cake" in honor of the birthday person...
Yours!

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!

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.

Black Grape Spoon Sweet

Spoon Sweet of black spermless grape, with very special blue-purple shades, deliciously tasty and very aromatic with the addition of spices, star anise and cardamom, which make the syrup sweet.
The ATTICA grape variety is a black, non-seed variety of table grapes, with a long-grained sapless berry, maturing at the end of July or early August. The grape itself is one of the most delicious edible grapes without seeds.

Stuffed Apricot with Ricotta Cheese

Greek Summer for most natives or travelers means sea, vacation, walking, cool drink in hand and fresh fruit, lots of raw fruit, and in other forms, such as juices, ice cream, smoothies, granites, etc.

Greek Custard Pie with Sirup-Galaktoboureko

How does it stand out and how do you make a good Galaktoboureko?
Everything plays its role, even the size or material of the baking pan, the quality & quantity of its ingredients, the buttering, the time, the baking, and the syrup as much as are equally important to the success of the dessert. My version is «cold syrup ↔ hot sweet».
Please follow the step-by-step steps below and make this excellent Galaktoboureko all-weather, craving & disposition. A sweet passepartout that is!
Yours!
