This vegetarian lasagna even meat-lovers will lick their fingers! First time I made it, even my children said to re-make it one day. It contains lots of fresh vegetables, but in the combination you won’t miss the meat. As lasagna pasta I prefer the ones without precooking. Therefor you will need enough liquid from the […]

Burrito with Mushooms
This is a Mexican Style vegetarian Burrito with mushrooms that even meat-lovers will like. You can use any kind of mushroom you like. I prefer especially “Pleurotus” mushrooms mixed with “button” mushrooms. Pleurotus you maybe will find under the name of oyster mushrooms, abalone or tree mushrooms. Of all mushrooms they are my favorite as […]
Most Tasty Fish Soup
Saturdays we usually have fish for lunch. Either fried filet, fresh Dorado fish or salmon filet. Last time, my husband brought some deep-freeze cod filet from the supermarket. Unpacking, I realized that they were with bones. So I thought after thawing to de-bone and to fry them. Unfortunately, the way they turned out, it was […]
Tzatziki – a Greek Classic
A classic under the Greek dishes! Who does not love this yogurt dish! One secret of a good Tzatziki is simply the quality of the yogurt! So if you want to make a really good Tzatziki you should choose the yogurt carefully. In Greece there are existing as many yogurts in the supermarkets as in […]
Homemade Sauerkraut
Yes, I am German, but this is not the reason why I love Sauerkraut: my Greek husband loves Sauerkraut as much as I do! Especially the way the French prepare the “Choucroût garni”: Sauerkraut with different kind of sausages and smoked meat, is veeeery nice! You should try it! Just cook the Sauerkraut with a […]
Marinated Stuffed Turkey Roast Asian Style
Lately my daughter fell in love with Asian food. So I decided to make a dish for the weekend that my husband also would like as he is not that much into this kind of food. Searching around in the internet I could not find something really adequate to my vague idea but I got […]
Carnivore vs. Vegetarian vs. Vegan?
As an inveterate carnivore, I finally have to express my… Hmmm, what actually? Displeasure, astonishment, frustration? … about all this vegan hype. Is it a fad? Is it justified? Are THEY a bit over the top? I can remember that – I do not know exactly when it started – the same hype has been […]
Pasta Soufflé
Once upon a time my mother made this dish when we were small and it became one of our favorite dishes. So it was just logical that I prepared this dish as well when I had my own family – and my kids love it as much as me and my brothers did. It is […]
To Peel Or Not To Peel – Part 2
For today’s lunch I prepared pork filet with mushroom sauce and vegetable rice. Cleaning the mushrooms, I remembered some TV cooking shows where the chef was suggesting to peel the mushrooms. Doing the same, I thought, what for??! What difference does it make? So I took back the paper towel I started up wiping the […]
Greek Vegetable Pie (Χορτοπιτα)
Maybe you already know my recipe for Chortopitarakia, the small pies stuffed with wild green herbs. If you do not have the time or patience to make those you should try this pie. Compared to the small pies it will take you about half hour to prepare the pie before cooking. So it is quickly […]
