Salad with iceberg, apples, celery and leftover roast chicken

A very tasty and filling salad with the leftovers of roast chicken (or turkey) from a previous day's meal! Inspired a bit by the famous and delicious Waldorf salad, this dish could also be a light main meal for any day of the week

Dill and tarama fried "pancakes"

A delicious appetizer to share with friends and family with some chilled wine or beer. A great meze dish for all seasons! The mixture resembles to the one for crêpes and if you use self-raising flour and add the mixture into the hot oil tablespoon by tablespoon then you will have some delicious fluffy and crunchy fritters. As I have mentioned before when using tarama (salted and cured roe from cod or carp fish) in various recipes, the best choice is the white one

Chicken cooked in red wine and dried fruits sauce

Very easy, tasty, nutritious and very filling recipe to enjoy with the family! Serve this mellow chicken recipe with rice pilaf or bulgur if you'd like something different. The chicken with the dried fruits go very well together and actually cooking (and not just soaking) the fruits with the wine not only they will get more juicy but also they will release their sweet flavour nicely embracing the rest of the food

Octopus "yahni" with potatoes

Another rustic but delicious way to cook octopus and if you can find a fresh one the taste will be even better! Instead of octopus you can use squids or cuttlefish but also a mixture of these three popular seafood ingredients will make the food special!

Simple but luscious chocolate tart with orange-flavoured liqueur

Maybe it doesn't look as glamorous as others but the taste of this tart is delicious! Chocolate and orange always suited together and this is a filling and delicate in flavour dessert to serve at any time. Although it is preferable to prepare our own pastry, if you don't have the time or if you feel intimidated by the idea you can of course use a ready-made pastry for tarts
