Good morning and wishing you a happy weekend and a wonderful summer! The farmers’ market in Nafplion is twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday.

We left quite unexpectedly for a long weekend and went to a nearby island. It was a decision we took on Friday afternoon and we left early on Saturday morning and came back yesterday. We are having really high temperatures here in Athens and until we leave on vacation in August, we shall be doing [...]
First of all «Happy Father’s Day» to all the fathers of the world. If my father were alive I am sure he would appreciate this dessert. This recipe was created by me out of nothing. When I saw this week’s Joust ingredients which were apricots butter and ginger the first thing that came to [...]
