Lentils salad with feta cheese, tomatoes and olives

Well, this dish is quite versatile because it can be served in different ways. First of all as a salad or a light lunch along with crusty bread or Greek rusks. To make it an even more full meal you can separately boil 1 cup of rice (of your choice) in salted water and mix it with the lentils when you are ready to add the dressing. As for the meat lovers this dish goes perfectly well with grilled chicken fillets

Chicken drumsticks with mushroom, tomato and fresh rosemary sauce

In Greece, some have the (false I think) idea that during the warm months "it doesn't go down well" cooking food in tomato sauce because it seems that this way is more appropriate for the Winter time... It seems that any kind of meat, poultry or fish should be cooked in lighter, mainly "white" sauces, usually based on lemon... Well, I'm telling you that this recipe can be cooked with the same tasty result giving the same satisfaction to those who will eat it regardless the season. Lets not forget that, vegetable based or not, there are so many dishes in Greek cuisine cooked in tomato sauce which are mainly considered Summer dishes.... 

Profiteroles filled with Anthotyro cheese mousse

An elegant and light dessert for all seasons. The classic (pâte à) choux filled with a different type of cream using the tasty and airy Anthotyro cheese. Anthotyro is a traditional, unpasteurized fresh cheese with a medium soft texture. Dry-ish and white in colour with a lightly sweet and creamy taste. It is made with milk and whey from sheep and/or goats and it is produced in most parts of Greece. In Greece we use Anthotyro for sweet and savoury dishes and it is also eaten for breakfast with honey and fruits. For the recipe you can use home made or store bought little choux
