Baked apples with meatballs

Another delicious traditional recipe that was brought to us thanks to the Greeks of Asia Minor. The grape molasses combined with the sour apples and the ground lamb give an excellent result. You can use brown sugar instead of grape molasses but the taste will not be exactly the same and of course the authenticity of the recipe will be gone.... but sometimes we have to alter things because it is not always easy to find the original ingredients a recipe demands

Risotto with cabbage and raisins

The famous all around Greece "Lahanorizo". A traditional Winter recipe which can be served as a main vegetarian meal or as a side dish. In Greece it is ,also, a very common dish during fasting periods. This is my mother's version and the raisins give a nice sweet taste. I should rather say it is one of the two versions she has because she also cooks it with a lemon based sauce
