Aromatic baked quinces

Quince is a very popular fruit in Greece. Although it is not possible to eat it raw because of its bitter and stiff taste it can become an excellent ingredient for various savoury and sweet recipes. It is very versatile and there are so many different ways of cooking it. Here we have one of the classic and very easy versions of baked quinces

Chicken Gyros at home!!

"Gyros" the Greek name for the "donner", this delicious food which - those of you who have travelled in Greece or Turkey - you have tried more than once and are still drooling....! A dish that it is not easy to cook at home since the traditional way is to cook it in a huge spit vertically placed in a special grill and cooked while it is turning around (hence the name "gyros") very slowly. But sometimes we have to improvise so to be able to enjoy something we really enjoy. Here is a classic recipe for chicken gyros, but you can easily substitute it with pork or lamb
