Roasted lemon chicken with aromatic Winter vegetables

Fragrant, delicious, very hearty and filling, this recipe will become one of your favourite roasts! Fennel gives such a delicate taste and aroma to the whole dish and that makes it a bit more special than the classic roast chicken

Multi-purpose mixed mushrooms ragoût sauce

Simple but so delicious this mushroom ragoût can be used as a sauce over various pasta or meat dishes or even as a light vegetarian dish on its own. You can use fresh, frozen or dried mushrooms after soaking them in water. Depending on your preference and their size the mushrooms can stay whole, cut in halves or in thin slices. As for the water the dried mushrooms were soaked in, don't throw it! It can be added in the broth for extra flavour

Omelette with portobello, cheese and sausages

Omelettes are always welcomed by adults and kids alike. In our house omelette is one of our favourite foods either as a filling breakfast, a brunch or a light meal along with a salad. We find them the ultimate tasty and fast dish! There is nothing exceptional about the specific recipe, just fresh eggs, good quality of sausages, the meaty portobello and the special taste of Manouri cheese which it can be replaced by Feta cheese. Always better if you finish the cooking of the omellette in the oven because it makes it more moist and fluffier whereas on the cooker it usually turns out more dry and rather flat

Tart with pumpkin and two cheeses

A very delicious and seasonal tart to enjoy now that pumpkin is in its peak and it can be served among other festive (but not only) dishes. Now, the original recipe includes another special Greek cheese called "Talagani". This cheese is produced by 100% sheep’s milk and comes from Messinia region in South Peloponnese. It resembles the Cypriot Haloumi cheese but Talagani is softer, with a richer taste and creamier texture. There is a delicate saltiness to it with a subtle mint undertone. It is best if grilled or fried and eaten straight away. When grilled it makes a great addition to fresh, green salads and roasted vegetables. It can also be used grated or in cubes in various pies and tarts like the one I'm posting today. If you can't find Talagani no need to fret, you can use the well-know Haloumi instead
