Soon after Easter I started watching my diet again but reading blogs all the day, there are some times I am really tempted to make some of the recipes I see. Being on diet doesn’t mean that you can’t eat a dessert once in a while or a snack.  Instead of eating anything else in [...]

«Christos Anesti!» This is the wish exchanged by all orthodox to spread the word that Christ has risen. «Alithos Anesti!» The reply comes from the others to confirm that it is true that Christ has risen.

I just made this vegan cake.  The glazing on top is still wet.   Before preparing flaounes, I made this very easy cake and muffins as I wanted to use the oven so that the kitchen was warm, for the dough to rise. This is one of the easiest cakes to make as you just mix [...]
