Hello October! π
The days are getting shorter, the evenings cooler, and suddenly we start craving warm soups, comforting dishes, cinnamon, apples and cosy baking.
October is such a lovely month in the kitchen. In France, it is the season for pumpkins and squash, leeks, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, beetroot, celery, turnips and parsnips, while apples, pears, grapes, quinces and chestnuts bring plenty of inspiration for something sweet.
So, what could we cook this month?
So why would you still buy a cookbook? Because a cookbook gives you something the internet doesn't.
You don't have to scroll through hundreds of recipes wondering which one is worth trying. Someone has selected, developed and organised the recipes for you.
A cookbook invites you to open a page and start cooking. No notifications, no endless scrolling, no distractions.
❤️ It creates memories.Websites change. Links disappear. Algorithms change.
A cookbook sits on your shelf and remains yours.
And that's why I still believe in cookbooks — and why I created my three:
π¬π· Vivian Is Cooking GREEK — my collection of Greek recipes and Mediterranean flavours.
π§ Vivian Is Cooking BAKING — for homemade cakes, breads, pastries and all things delicious.
π«π· Vivian Is Cooking – Cuisine Grecque — my Greek cooking collection for French-speaking readers.
There are recipes everywhere today, and that's wonderful.
But you don't buy a cookbook because you can't find recipes. You buy one because you want a collection of recipes that you love, trust and want to keep.
And maybe, one day, pass on. ❤️
A delicious, traditional Cypriot treat, these pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, filled with the sweet warmth of cinnamon and sugar. Perfect for sharing with loved ones!
