I’m sure that you can’t wait to find out about the ingredients for this recipe, so, I will skip the usual introductions, prologues and opening sentences and will get straight to the point: this recipe uses a can of evaporated milk and a little yellow mustard instead of the regular heavy cream! I promise you the… Continue Reading

Chicken Curry Salad

Chicken Curry Salad

Last Wednesday, my mom and I had just finished visiting three floors of art galleries at 49 Geary Street, and decided to head north of San Francisco for lunch. As we were approaching the bay, the fog was getting thicker and by the time we were crossing the Golden Gate Bridge we were completely wrapped in a white… Continue Reading

Easy Weeknight Dinner – Chicken Bites With Crumbled Feta Cheese

My mother is an artist who loves to create, not only when she sits in front of a canvas, but also in her everyday life. It’s often that she will open her refrigerator and come up with an amazing recipe just by combining the right ingredients that happened to be within her sight.  This chicken with feta cheese… Continue Reading

Chicken à l’Américaine

Chicken à l’Américaine

This past summer in Greece, we had dinner at a modern and gourmet restaurant, known for its nouvelle cuisine. The selection included real gastronomic delights, but there was also a whole page on the menu devoted to dishes and desserts  popular when the Athenian upper class of the 60’s was entertaining, otherwise known as “Athenian Recipes”*. These were mostly European classics prepared with… Continue Reading

Butterflied Roasted Chicken With Mustard/Lemon Sauce

If you haven’t roasted a whole chicken with the “butterfly and flatten” techniques before, consider doing so for these simple and absolutely mouthwatering reasons: 1) by opening up the chicken, all of its parts are exposed on the upper side while roasting and therefore all of the chicken’s skin stays crisp.  2) a flattened chicken will roast more evenly because all of its parts… Continue Reading

Now that Greek yogurt is found in almost every grocery store in the United States, and seems to be all the talk, it’s time I share another of my mom’s delicious  recipes! Skinless and boneless chicken thighs, kept moist and delicious thanks to a thick layer of tangy Greek Yogurt covered with golden bread crumbs. I often like to add to… Continue Reading

Greek Chicken Seasoning – Make Your Own!

Greek Chicken Seasoning – Make Your Own!

I always bring back from Greece a jar or two of my favorite ready-to-use chicken seasoning (see here for all the Greek “treasures” that I brought back home this last summer), but I often run out of it before the next trip. So before my precious jar is empty again, I decided to measure and mix all… Continue Reading

Chicken with Olives and Capers

Chicken with Olives and Capers

I just got a book from the Burlingame Library this morning with more than 100 chicken recipes, in hope that I would find one that I would like.  I found plenty that I believe would be nice and I am planning to try some of them, but I don’t have all the ingredients I need… Continue Reading

Greek Chicken With Rice and Feta Cheese

Greek Chicken With Rice and Feta Cheese

I’ve had this recipe for many, many years and never decided to make it because of its not-so-appealing name.  I will not reveal the name until the very end of this post because you, just like I was,  will be tempted to just forget about it.  But, the truth of the matter is, that it… Continue Reading
