A family friend is Greek and sent me honey from Ikaria. It is a little smoky and tastes of caramel. Bees never cease to amaze me in what they create. I wanted to bake it into a cake and decided to go with other flavors you might find on that […]

Homemade Yogurt (Plain and Fruit)

I find myself digging into the past recently and finding recipes. My grandmother’s rugelach, cheese blintzes from the Kiev restaurant (a childhood favorite) and fresh homemade yogurt my mom used to make. We lived on a commune in VT, where we grew our own vegetables and raised a cow for dairy. […]

Tea Cup Rose Cakes – Paleo Sweets

This is one of my oldest recipes on the site! It’s a delicious honey rhubarb ice cream that combines tart and sweet treats for a perfect summer treat. Rhubarb is one of those ingredients that people either adore or avoid. I fall into the former, and use it as much […]

Baklava

Thanks to Peter of kalofagas.ca (I follow his culinary journey on Twitter), I’ve been craving Greek food, and baklava in particular. For some crazy reason I haven’t made it since I was in college, about 20 years ago. I love the crisp phyllo, which is layered with ground nuts, sweet […]
