Coffee Greek Style
Here I am sat doing what I do best, sitting in a cafe observing, that’s it, I love it but it’s taken a while to get here. You see when it comes down to it I am a Brit and as such it was not really in my nature to enjoy just sitting. When I […]
So, how did you start to cook ?
January 13, 2011
It’s a hard question to answer, “what was the first food you ever cooked ?” because I suppose we all start by helping Mum, helping her stir the Christmas cake batter, helping out by mashing spuds badly. I used to love to mash the spuds, and my family never grumbled at how badly mashed they […]
A day off; a cockerel, a shotgun and recollections of mama……
September 8, 2010
I went to buy some oranges to juice for the Goddess’ day off as Sunday she closes her little shop and is pampered by yours truly. On the way I bumped into Stavros and asked about his new chicken hut, ten minutess later I was back at the house having one of those strange conversations […]
Ladi a review
July 12, 2010
A new restaurant has opened in Stoupa, it’s called Ladi meaning ‘oil’ in Greek, or should I say ‘olive oil’. I have been planning to get over to see what they are about and yesterday out of the blue we got a lunch invitation, so off we went. As it was last-minute I am afraid […]

Athens
June 15, 2010
Now I have always loved big cities, they seem to have a life of their own, almost like a living organism. Some areas are stronger than others, some weaker, or shall we say ‘poorer’. This does not mean that the poorer areas are less interesting, in fact it can be quite the opposite and areas […]

May 11, 2010
Please read, a small interlude with some wiseguys in New York, first ( in older posts ) A tiny hill village, Peloponnesus Greece. It was going to be another hot one – 35 and climbing, and it was only 10.30 in the morning. The heat had been in for over a month now and showed […]
Kardamyli
April 30, 2010
It’s here again the start of the tourist season and this is where we will now spend most of our time due to the Goddess having her Bead Shop there, so this is where I will be doing most of my blogging from. How to describe it, well firstly I should tell you that it’s […]
Elizabeth David
April 22, 2010
I am reading, or should I say rereading, French Country Cooking By Elizabeth David it’s a wonderful book, first published in 1951. You would imagine it to be dated but not so, in fact, it feels new and I think that the reason is that it talks to the reader like he/she is a foodie. […]
