Please Evi comment this post and give more information directly :)

Btw, looking for this recipe I came across with Nanaimo bar recipe that I would definitely would like to try!!! Google it and see what I mean *slourp*

4 spoonfulls of sugar
vanilla
4 egg whites+4 spoonfulls of sugar
 
For the yellow cream:
1lt of milk
80gr custard powder
7 spoonfulls of sugar
4 egg yolks
80gr butter

For decoration:
Chantilly

Procedure:
For the white cream: 
You boil all the ingredients (apart from the last ones) for 10min in medium fire and stir vigorously. You whisk the egg whites with the sugar in a thick marengue and you add at the end to the mixture and stir well. You take out of the fire and you let it cool.

For the yellow cream:
You boil the milk apart from some small quantity in which you mix well the rest of the ingredients (leave the butter) and pour it eventually to the boiling milk. You stir vigorously until it starts to thicken. Take it out of the fire and add the butter and mix and melt completely and homogeneously. Leave it to cool.

Start building your cake making:
  1. a layer with biscuits that you dip in some milk  
  2. a layer with the white cream
  3. a layer again with biscuits dampen with milk
  4. a layer with the yellow cream
  5. a layer with biscuits that you will break
  6. Chantilly decoration (according to your style :)
You put it to the fridge to cool for a few hours... Have a closer look to the result:

P.S: I did my best given my heavy program to translate the recipe, correct some mistakes and adapt, but please Evi give us feedback from your experience, ok?

Pasticcio or the alter ego of Moussaka !

Pasticcio or the alter ego of Moussaka ! (for my son, that has football today and needs extra energy :) In Greece, when you want to treat someone special you cook moussaka or pasticcio! So, these 2 recipes HAVE to be in this blog. Not to say that are very similar recipes. Moussaka has eggplants, pasticcio has pasta macaroni instead. Moussaka is known all over the world and I consider better to cook it when it is the season for egg-plants for better results. So wait sometime to see in this blog my version. While pasticcio, is almost equivalent in taste, kids love it more (there is pasta inside :) but is not known so much outside Greece while inside is VERY popular. In contrast to moussaka, one can cook it all year long (I have some issues with good tomatoes but there is the canned tomatoes as alternative). Today, thanks to my friend Carla that asked for the recipe (her husband tried it in one of my parties and became addicted :) I decided to go for it ! Actually, they liked "

Kurtos Kalacs or chimney cakes

Image
This romanian pastry that is called Kurtos Kalacs , is often called in english chimney cakes . It's a fluffy yeast dough (similar to brioche) that is sweetened rolling them to a sugar and cinnamon mix, sometimes even in ground walnuts, and at old times used to be served in weddings. Nowdays, we can find them in small street kiosks that bake them in coal grills. Hubby tried them first in Prague on a trip for his work and came back telling that it was so soft and delicious that I would surely love it! I searched for the recipe on the web and indeed I found how to make them at home but eventually never tried them. It took me a couple of years until I would taste them in Budapest (I liked them so much that there was no day passing without eating at least two!!!) But still coming back home, I did not dare to try making them... until one evening, coming back home from a busy day, hubby had made them for me!!! That was a nice surprise :) So, here it is our homemade Kurtos based on th

Pancakes from Cyprus or "Pites tis Satziis"

Image
When I was a child, my grand mother used to make a kind of greek pancakes that I just couldn't resist :) She was making a huuuuge dish and she was offering them to all the clients of my father's shop... Lucky guys, yes I know! Unfortunately, I have lost my grand-mother very early at an age that I did not appreciate cooking so much, thus I lost also almost all of her precious recipes (I still have great memories from her though, which is what counts most...). Why am I telling you all this now? Simply because I have seen recently a recipe that looked very similar to my grandma's pancakes and you guessed well... I tried it immediately and I have fallen in love with it. All kids in my neighbor too btw :)))  The recipe that I am going to give you here is from Cyprus and they call it "Pites tis Siatziis" (Google it).
