🍽️ What I cooked...
- Homemade basil pesto with spaghetti, cherry tomatoes and, of course, extra Parmigiano Reggiano — there is never enough! 😄
- Pinsas, using my authentic Italian pizza recipe
- Spanakotyropita, made with ready-made filo but based on my own recipe, also included in [Vivian is Cooking GREEK]
- Greek sea bream in the oven, simply baked with olive oil, herbs and lemon slices, served with oven fries
- Mexican fajitas with tacos, guacamole and a little Greek touch: tzatziki!
- Homemade burgers, made like my biftekia recipe and served with savory waffles based on my vegetable balls recipe [Vivian is Cooking GREEK]
- French madeleines from my latest cookbook [Vivian is Cooking BAKING]
- Oat chocolate cookies, another reliable favourite from [Vivian is Cooking BAKING]
- Pastitsio, one of my all-time favourites from the blog and my GREEK cookbook. I unfortunately forgot to take a photo, but I did save some portions in the freezer for my students who will soon be leaving — a little taste of home to take with them. ❤️ — [Vivian is Cooking GREEK]
It was another delicious week, and one that was very much appreciated by the whole family — I received quite a few compliments! From the fresh basil pesto and summer fish to Greek favourites, homemade burgers and a sweet ending with madeleines and chocolate cookies, it was a lovely way to enjoy the last weeks of summer.
📖 A little shortcut for your kitchen
