Potato Salad with Aromatic Spices

Potato salad hearty and fragrant.
A simple boiled potato salad can be given flavor by adding aromatic spices & herbs, and give a hearty dish on its own or to accompany a seafood dish. In our table it combined with the Grilled Octopus in Parchment Paper.
The mustard with whole grains is much more palatable than the other common ones. Spices, each alone is very fragrant and combined tantalise the taste of the dish into which will be added. Finally a little bit of spring onion and fresh parsley add color and flavor to all.
Yours.

Octopus Baked in Parchment Paper

Octopus makes delicious seafood, that professional and amateur anglers bring in our kitchen, ready to cook. The seafood, which together with the shrimp and other seafood, is almost inescapable condition to prepare the table of Greek Clean Monday.
Cooked in various ways and always remains tasty. The proposal here is to bake it closing in parchment paper. So close the juices and aromatic sea properties, achieving an excellent result.
This way baking in the oven, sealed with wax paper and aluminum foil, so as not to let air go out, octopus braise without burning or to stay wet, juicy and soft, cooked through to its own juices along with extra spices and its fragrances.

Beef Vegetable Soup

Those who have reservations about the soups in general and in particular for the winter, hot consommé, and hearty, I would like to suggest this one. Do make and enjoy it without reservations. It's so tasty, without exaggeration, surely you will love it, and your loved ones or who, anyway, you are responsible to care for their diet …
We choose meat from good quality beef and then many different vegetables, each of which will contribute with its taste and composition to the entire dish. An important aspect in the whole process -though little time consuming- is to sauté all individual ingredients before boil. It gives a taste you will not forget.
Yours!

Orange Peel Sweet Preserves

Preserves with special and favorite scent of citrus made from orange peels, cut into thin sticks like matchsticks and with the outer peel intact. Ginger intensifies with its presence the superiority of the taste.
We enjoy it alone during all seasons but also accompany our sweet experimentation. With this we can decorate and garnish cakes and other desserts or serve creams, bowl of trifle, ice cream and yoghurt.

Butterscotch Pudding

Juicy Pudding bathed with delicious buttery and caramel sauce -Butterscotch Sauce- with very strong flavor and unique aroma of Caramel & butter.
Butterscotch is the flavor that gives us caramel when combined with butter. In Butterscotch Sauce, sour cream is added to maintain fluidity, so that it can be used as a cover in puddings, ice creams etc.
The modern use of the word indicates -Pudding- desserts and evolved over time, from the almost exclusive use of the term, which mainly described savory dishes.

Coiled Cheese Pie from Skopelos Island

These dough cheese snails is customary in Greece to call "Cheese Pie from Skopelos Island", certainly not because they make only there, in Skopelos Island but because it is so naturalized and we do not want to spoil their grace and… nationality. In Macedonia, say, a little twisted pie known as "Kichi" is from Kozani and baked in the oven.
Water and flour, and filled with good goat cheese and definitely fun to knead, to fold and open thin sheet very thin.
After that the taste is completed in the pan. Placed in the oven, if we prefer, become tastier in the pan and the process becomes faster.

Cornmeal Pancakes

Pancakes are not simply with flour and water. It is an enhanced, level dough dessert with requirements on the quality of ingredients and their preparation, without this, meaning that it is difficult to produce them.
The rich and thick porridge with the addition of a quantity of maize flour, gives them, apart the earthy and very special flavor, beautiful color. The addition of yogurt makes them soft and inflatable and certainly the fruit -here you put bananas- enhances the tastiness as caramelized sweets during frying. Abundant honey flows in an amount corresponding to our desire. How sweet you want them to let us "build" our breakfast and our whole week.
Yours!
