Cooking, decorating and travelling through life
While I am Greek by birth, I didn’t grow up with any knowledge of my heritage. When I connected with my roots in my late teens this cake was one of the first homemade things I tried. Vasilopita ( St. Basil’s Pie), is a Cake or bread traditionally served on New Years Day in Greece […]
I shared my croque Monsieur recipe earlier this year. A Croque Madame is essentially the same sandwich with the addition of a fried egg on top. As if the Monsieur wasn’t decadent enough with crispy buttered bread , bechamel and gruyère, a fried egg with crispy edges and a runny golden yolk take it over […]
