Summertime rice pilaf with courgettes, peppers and tomatoes

A delicious, light but filling recipe which screams "Summer!" and which can be cooked easily and without special effort! Courgettes are still in season so don't delay and cook this recipe as soon as possible. Try it out also adding in the mixture chopped aubergines or even tender grape vine leaves! It sounds weird but trust me, they add a special flavour to the dish

Greek Graviera cheese "saganaki" with cherry tomatoes sauce in the skillet

Delicious meze or first dish to enjoy now the tomatoes are still in their prime! The glorious "saganaki" dish in a bit different version that the classic recipe is so luscious! Graviera cheese, which is less salty than other Greek cheeses normally used for this recipe, in combination with the cherry tomatoes give such a delicious result! The two of them suit each other perfectly! Serve directly from the skillet so not to lose any tasty juices of the sauce which has a nice sweet and sour taste in a great balance with the rest of the ingredients. Accompany this meze dish with some fresh country-style bread to enjoy it even more

Easy dark chocolate granita

There is plenty of time yet to enjoy frozen desserts and what better than a luscious dark chocolate granita! Just three ingredients will be needed and nothing too much in preparation and you will end up with a delicious dessert which everybody will love!

Greek biftekia stuffed with peppers and cheese baked with potato slices and garnished with bacon

Another delicious version of the Greek-style burgers to enjoy with the family any day of the week! The pork meat keeps them moist and fluffy and the filling of the green peppers and the cheese gives them extra flavour. Some crunchy chopped bacon on top makes them even more luscious! The original recipe asks for fresh (sour) Myzithra cheese but you can replace it with goat's cheese, Manouri or Feta cheese. Just be careful with the seasoning though because feta can be quite salty sometimes
