Another favourite of mine and also a very popular dish around here. We eat a lot of octopus back home and it’s actually one of our traditional Christmas dishes. The most popular recipe is “Octopus Rice” but we also enjoy it grilled or in salads. This recipe for octopus in the oven was adapted from…

Seafood Risotto
I love rice… more than I love pasta… shuuuu don’t tell my boyfriend 🙂 Don’t take me wrong, I also love pasta. But a girls can have his preferences, isn’t it? This “rice gene” comes from my dad… we’re the ones crazy for rice in the family… my mum plays with my boyfriend for the…
Rabbit Stew with Port Wine
Rabbit has always been part of my diet. Back home, my parents raise animals such as chickens, ducks and rabbits. So every so often, rabbit would be served at my parents table and it’s one of my favorite meats. It’s lean and full of flavor and cooked the right way makes a delicious meal. Some…
Moussaka Greek style
I found this recipe for Moussaka Greek style on a magazine that I was reading while waiting for my turn at the hairdresser. Yes, I think about food even while I’m having my hair done 🙂 The article explained that this was the Greek version of Moussaka as the ingredients are layered and topped with…
Spaghetti alla Carbonara with mushrooms

Ricotta and Spinach Quiche
Every so often, I have to look around the fridge for items that may be coming to their “use by” date. I find that it’s normal to have either leftovers or items that you bought and ended up not using straight away. I don’t know about you but I can’t go to the supermarket without…
Chicken Legs roasted Indian style with Lemon Couscous
I have always been a fan of Indian Food – mainly curries… My mum introduced it in our diet when she found a ready made curry powder that you only needed to add milk and dinner was done. Typical of my mother, anything to make cooking easy and fast. But guess what? It was quite…
