Melomakarona, the greek xmas cookies!

Image
Every country has a recipe for xmas cookies, find today here the greek way :) It's full of honey, cinnamon and walnuts! You will be surprised how tasty they are although quite sweet and heavy in calories... Despite this, when I make them for Xmas, we tend to finish them so fast that I have to redo for Xmas once again :) Not many succeed to make them in Greece, so do not underestimate my recipe as it is a sure one for success... and I share it today with you together with the small secret that goes with it ;)

Merry Xmas!

All the best to all of you!  A big thanks to all the people out there from America, Australia, Africa, Asia, and of course Europe, that keep coming back to my blog and like my recipes ...  Keep cooking! It makes quality of life much much better.... Vivian

Chicken with exotic okra!

Oh my goodness, I will share with you today one of my favorite dishes! Chicken with okra :) Do you know what okra is? It is a green vegetable that if you have never heard of, better try it once as it might drive you crazy, if it is cooked correctly of course :) In France, I find it only in shops that sell oriental products, while in Greece you can easily find it in a supermarket. The one I use is frozen, unfortunately and not fresh, but there is an advantage after all, it is already peeled and ready to use... otherwise you have to peel the "head" of the okra and someone has to show you how. Ready? Here it goes...

Vivian's quiche

I live in France for years, and when I ask a french friend for an idea on what to cook for dinner, very often I get the same answer: a quiche! So, here's a quiche a la Vivianne (that's how they write my name in french :)
