Lentils are a staple food in Greek cuisine and also play an important role in the Mediterranean diet. They are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Chicken Curry
This is a colorful, healthy and spicy chicken curry. In my family we all love chicken fillet. So I decided to make a different dish as we usually have for lunch (either fried or cooked). As lately we found our love for Asian tastes I was looking around for a recipe also to try out…
Homemade Curry Paste
Since a few years, in Greece, where I live, it is getting easier to buy exotic spices in the big supermarkets. So, it makes it much easier to cook Asian style food which lately is the favorite of my daughter and even my husband is willing to try and appreciate. Still, some things are not…
Sliced Beef Mongolian Style
My daughter lately has become a great fan of Asian food. So, she started to cook once a week for us, which – I admit – I appreciate very much as it is a day off from cooking for me. If you like “Beef Sichuan” you will love this dish as well. Compared to the…
Neapolitan Sauce
The Neapolitan is a basic sauce that goes with almost every pasta dish and can be varied with lots of other ingredients like minced meat, tuna, salmon etc. You can buy it ready in the supermarkets.

Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce
Sweet Chili Sauce is one of our favorite sauces. Especially for Asian dishes like Noodles with chicken and vegetables it goes very well. Usually I buy a sauce from my local supermarket… until I looked at the ingredients of the our favorite sauce, and I found it not difficult to make it myself. The one…
Moussaka – another Greek classic
If you think of Greek dishes, “Moussaka” is for sure one of the first coming to your mind. Beside of “Pastitsio” , it is one of the most delicious dishes. But, just like its “brother” made with macaroni pasta, it is also time consuming and very rich in calories – so it’s not something to…
Stuffed Vegetables (Gemista)
Stuffed vegetables (Γεμιστά [jemista’]) are a common food in Greece! Every housewife has her own recipe. And, during periods of fasting, it is one dish that is absolutely vegan. The stuffing is basically the same as in stuffed vine leaves (Dolmades). You can make stuffed vegetables vegan style or add minced meat. The secret for…
