Discovered at Robert’s lamiacucina Blog I had to try a version of these Ricottine instantly. I am always on the look out for quite different dishes for my Secret Supper event here in Athens. I liked the colour scheme and later on as well the taste of these Ricottine a lot.

This bread spread was a great discovery. Once I had finished preparing the Tahini and honey spread I tried with a piece of rusk. Amazing taste i though, that something so simple can be so delicious…

Looking through my RSS reader I discovered a Zucchini and Cheese soup at Joumanas blog. I had to modify the choice of cheese but the rest of the ingredients I had at home. A delicious soup for those who love a sip of a strong soup.

After this unpleasant experience I turned to baking, which is something that seems to come easier to me. When I found great, sweet Cretan oranges in the bio store I decided to do a [...]
