Last time I made bread pudding, amongst the wave of Good Old British nostalgia that overtakes me every time I make it, there was a small voice whispering to me as I stirred the milk into the chunks of bread. "Maybe this would work with other flavours. Maybe this would work with tahini. Thought about …

Hallloumi & Mint snacks
Greek (Orthodox) Easter came and went this year, and more or less passed me by. When you're the only Cypriot around for miles (that I know of, anyway) there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing much about it. If we had an Orthodox church near, I'd probably go, but we don't, …
Kolokassi Kebabs Cypriot Style
Kolokassi is a tuber of little renown in the UK. It’s also called Taro, and it used a lot in Asia, even for cake making, and is what they call poi in Hawaii, where it is a staple. I know it’s hard to find here, and I apologise in advance for that.I freely admit that …
Greek Easter Buns
Orthodox Easter can’t be pinned down. It wanders about, never in the same place. Every year those of us without a Greek family group nearby to remind us, Google “When is Orthodox Easter?” with the vague worry that we might have missed it.

Comfort Soup: Quick Fasolada
I have a feeling that cheap and cheerful comfort foods are going to be big on the menu for a while. It was so cold today, I couldn’t shake it from my bones, no matter how I wrapped up, and so some sort of soup was on my mind when I got in from work. …
Breakfast for Dinner
I'm a great believer in comfort food. I don't mean the usual British nursery or school dinners style food - all sponge puddings, mashed potatoes and a lack of chewing, though they most certainly have their place - I mean all kinds of food that give comfort because of what you, the eater, associate them …
Microwave Christmas Pudding
Yep! Microwave. I thought I'd lost this, but just dug it out again. :)We made this last year at my Mum's in Cyprus, and as we were on the watch for powercuts, it had to be fast. It turns out that this is really, really good. Light and tender on the 1st and 2nd days, …
A good day
Not strictly a food post, or a recipe post. But a post nonetheless. It's been a hard week, and the planes taking off from Cyprus to bomb the oil fields was just the last straw. Facebook is full of people talk talk talking non-stop about the bombings, the politics, analysing over and over again but …
