A few years ago, we ticked off one of the most classic road trips covering the West Coast of the US. We started off from San Francisco, we then drove to the Sequoia National Park and Yosemite Park, followed by Las Vegas and Grand Canyon to end up in Los Angeles. San Francisco What I […]
Weekend getaway to Brussels and Bruges
A few weeks ago, we decided to a meet up with some good friends in Belgium. Living in London, Eurostar was a good option for us to get there and considering we hadn’t travelled on it before, the idea of being under the seabed, seemed exciting (although it really isn’t different from travelling with a […]
Stockholm and glamping in Swedish Lapland
This winter we decided to head north for the Christmas holidays and we felt brave enough to experience the arctic cold in Swedish Lapland, Kiruna. Both my partner and I hadn’t visited Sweden before so we decided to first spend 48 hours in Stockholm and then make our way up to Kiruna. Stockholm During our […]
Trip to Morocco
I was lucky enough to travel across Morocco a couple of months ago and all I can say is that I was stunned by the beauty of this country. Everywhere I would turn my head was such a sensory overload. Casablanca Travelling with my partner, we started our trip from Casablanca. Casablanca is a big […]
Overnight oats

Quite often, I happen not to have all the ingredients below, but I will use whatever I have available-bananas, berries, peanut butter, dried coconut flakes, chia seeds. The version below is quite classic but very tasty and I hope you […]
Multicoloured cabbage salad (or politiki salad)
This is such an easy and quick salad which I particularly love combining with dishes such as pies (like this cheese pie) but it can certainly do as a light meal by itself. The wonderful colours of the vegetables, together with its fresh and crunchy taste makes it one of my favourite salads. I like […]
Cheese pie
Every greek would agree that pies are big in Greece; and not without reason. They can be such a filling, healthy and cheap meal and can satisfy everyones palette. However, cheese pie sits at the top of most people’s preferences. This recipe comes from my partner’s mother cookbook and it never fails to impress. We […]
Oat milk rice pudding with honey
This is a recipe that marks my childhood. I remember my mother cooking rice pudding more like a quick snack instead of a proper dessert that I would eat right after school or like a midday snack. What I mostly like about it, is its versatility. You can adjust the ingredients to your taste or […]
Handmade ravioli filled with haloumi and cherry tomato sauce
I am always excited about pasta! I simply love it. And particularly when it is homemade pasta, I just feel I have gone that extra mile. While this recipe might take some extra time to be prepared, it is definitely worth it. It is an amalgam of the Cypriot version of a dish called ‘ravioles’ […]
My first post
Hello. First, I would like to introduce myself. I was born and raised in Athens, in a middle class neighbourhood close to the city centre that I always remember very fondly. I come from a typical big Greek family where my mother was and still is the main person that cooks for all of us. […]
