Yuverlakia



Or, yuverlakia with avgolemono. This is for you Pitsa, from that fabulous book you gave me. I'd like to have another blog just to platform all of those recipes...



This is the samali (almond and semolina cake with orange syrup).



And this is the little greco herself...feta-eating, olive-popping, spanikopita-loving girl that she is.

No baking today - Im giving the brioche an extra 24hr second fermentation..we'll see how that goes!

Walked the long route to school today, through the arboretum and it was so beautiful. To walk an hour through nature ever day to get to work, I would give up the gym, running, swimming, yoga...I'd give it all up. That's all a person needs. I'm becoming increasing dissillusioned with gym-culture. Tell me why we drive to a building to run on a machine? To lift weights? I'm becoming convinced that functional exercise is the only way to go. Thankfully, we are expecting 20 cm of the fluffy stuff tonight - providing me ample opportunity for functional exercise. That fluffy stuff is surprisingly heavy.

  1. Your pictures are making me so hungry. Honestly, knowing your skill in the kitchen that plate of food is all I want. This is painful.

  3. Hi Miranda, I told you once and I'm telling you again girl, I'm so proud of you. Your cooking is sooooooo Greek :) I'm sure the Greek recipe book feels so much at home in your hands. I love you and I'm waiting for more posts of Greek recipes. Kisses to all.
