Easy walnut chocolate pie with chocolate sauce glaze

A luscious, fully chocolate pie with the addition of walnuts for extra flavour and crunchiness to treat family and guests! A dessert which can be served any time regardless the season or the occasion. Great idea to serve it as a birthday cake too for something different than the customary cakes

Orzo pasta with mango and sauté shrimps cooked with marinated citrus sauce

Inspired a bit by exotic dishes and cooked almost like a risotto, this pasta recipe is really delicious with the shrimps and the lightly sweet and sour sauce to enjoy with the family. Also a great idea for those who fast during this period and they want something different, filling and tasty

Savoury crunchy biscuits with paprika

Crunchy and nicely spiced these biscuits are ideal to accompany your drinks or to have as a snack any time of the day. You can play with the ingredients and use half the quantity of the Kefalotyri cheese replacing with the milder Anthotyro cheese and 1 tbsp of finely snipped dill or 2 tbsp of finely chopped pistachios or even hazelnuts. The taste comes out different in each version but having tried all of them I'm telling you they are so tasteful!

Spinach sauté with ground meat sauce and paprika-scented yoghurt dip

Something different than the usual Sunday-meal recipes for a change. Nutritious, very tasty and easy to prepare it can be served as it is or along with a rice pilaf or fried potatoes. And who knows, this meal could be a good idea to persuade the children to eat spinach which, usually, is not something they are very fond of...

Easy penne and sundried tomatoes with basil and tahini paste pesto

Simple and easy but very tasty and filling recipe. Great for vegetarians but also for those who fast during this period if they omit the grated cheese. The ingredients balance together nicely and the pesto has a different and distinctive flavour thanks to the tahini paste
