Happy Easter 2017

Dear family, friends, acquaintances and just passengers from this blog,

I wish you all Happy Easter whatever that means for each one of you, if it means something.
Actually, I am so busy this period that I have realized just 2 days ago that Easter is this weekend :)
This blog proposes several traditional Greek recipes to prepare these days that each one reminds me of the Easter time that I have spent in Greece with my family at good and bad times.
I continue to prepare most of them for my subsequent family and I will be glad if my effort will help others to bring up memories from their youth in the same way or even better :) Cheers!
Recipes:

Easter eggs
Roast lamb leg (traditionally we roast the whole lamp in a huge barbecue, though)
Easter cookies
Vivian's pudding
Ribbon cake as Easter cake
Tsourekia (recipe is still missing but you can see what it is and get a recipe somewhere else...)

Ribbon cake as Easter cake!

Happy greek Easter even with a delay!
All the best to you and your families...

Heres my inspiration for a cake that I came up with, as this year for several issues I did not want to make a more fancy cake, as this Easter coincided with a bad anniversary...
You want to know more about it?
Let's call it the Ribbon cake!

I made an almond cake, and covered it with a white frosting.
I have melted 200gr of black chocolate and spread it in a baking sheet and put it in the fridge for a while to harden.
Once done, I have cut using a knife, several wide bands of the chocolate and "stick" them around the cake.
Important finishing touch the big satin ribbon to hold the chocolate bars.

Isn't it lovely? We have fallen in love with it :) You?
P.S: Btw, I managed to do easter cookies though.

Happy Greek Easter!

Too many things going on this period, so I missed lots of events linked to Greek Easter that was yesterday, but I have cooked quite a lot of stuff that are linked to it as you can see in my posts.
So, with a day of delay, all my best wishes for a world with lots of love and much much less of wars and violence in general...

Happy Greek Easter!

especially to my family and friends... that I think of you, even though we see each other once per year maybe.

"Tsoureki", the greek easter sweet bread!

No recipe today (too tired :), just photos to show you my "tsourekia", traditional greek easter sweet breads that are formed of braided strands of dough.
Just google the name and you will find lots of recipes out there and next year I will give you mine ...
For the time being, I am just telling you that they taste great and we have almost consumed all of them in half a day, imagine :))))
