Sweet pizza with bananas and chocolate

Not long ago I gave you a nice recipe to create your own dough for sweet pizza! Here is now the first recipe where you can put that dough in use so to have a great dessert to share and enjoy with friends and family. A recipe with just a few simple ingredients but with a delicious result. Banana and chocolate is one of the most classic and popular sweet combinations and if laid together on a nice crispy dough then things can't get tastier

Easy crustless pie with 3 cheeses and ham

Easy, fast and delicious recipe which you can enjoy as a snack or along with a nice green salad for a light meal. Inspired from traditional recipes of this type from around Greece, it takes a slightly different form due to the addition of the ham

Sandwich with Greek Manouri cheese and rocket pesto

Manouri is an airy and light semi-soft white cheese used very often in making sweet and savoury pies and desserts but also used in salads. It is made from the drained whey from feta cheese production (of sheep's or goat's milk). Similar to feta cheese but creamier and much less salty or even salt-free. The regions famous for the Manouri cheese are Central and Western Makedonia (up-North Greece) and Thessalia (Central Greece). It has a slightly grainy creamy texture and a milky taste with a mild citrus flavour. It does not have an outer rind or solidified casing. It is almost always sold in log-shaped rolls or in individual pieces cut from a roll. Wherever a sweet, rich cheese is used, think of manouri. Decent substitutes for Manouri are the goat cheese, the cream cheese or farmer's cheese. To introduce you to this tasty cheese I have a nice and light sandwich that you can enjoy anytime of the day. It tastes even better if you leave it to rest for a bit allowing the bread to absorb the moisture and the flavour of the pesto
