Wild garlic is one of the joys of spring, with its fresh, mild flavor and vibrant green leaves—perfect for simple, seasonal cooking.
A few days ago, I met my new friend Aurora and her lovely dog, and she mentioned she was going to look for wild garlic. I told her how trendy it seems lately; everyone is talking about it! Curious, I joined her to learn how to recognize it. It turned into a lovely walk in nature, and a few days later she surprised me with a jar of pesto made from what we found. Such a thoughtful gift!
Wild garlic is so popular because it’s seasonal, easy to forage, and full of fresh flavor, perfectly matching today’s love for simple, homemade cooking. It’s ideal for pesto (see my Basil Peso / Pesto alla Genovese, but also works beautifully in butter, spreads, salads, soups, omelets, and savory bakes—Aurora even used it to cook fish in the oven.
Today, April 8, marks 13 years since I started this blog - 13 years of recipes, tips, experiments, and sometimes quite unique culinary adventures! From simple weekday meals to festive Greek and international classics, this space has grown into a treasure trove of ideas for anyone who loves cooking (312 posts, majority recipes).
Over the years, these recipes have been tested, improved, and cooked again and again, so you can trust they truly work in a real home kitchen.
Thanks to the blog, this year I published my first cookbook Vivian is Cooking GREEK, available in two languages and several formats, making it easy for readers everywhere to cook Greek favorites at home.
Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to give you a sneak peek of my next book, focused on baking staples:
