Elderflower Cordial - Σιρόπι από Άνθη Κουφοξυλιάς

(Συνταγή στα Ελληνικά στο τέλος της σελίδας)

This post is going to be short and sweet. Sweet like the syrup I made from the white flowers of an elderberry tree.

Elderflowers are very special to me. They remind me of spring in London and are in a way responsible for getting me hooked on following food blogs and ultimately starting my own.

Pinterest Link Party Week 20

Welcome to the The Ultimate Linky's Pinterest Party!

It is Monday and this means that it is time to have another great Pinterest Link Party! All through May I get to be the co-host of this party every Monday along with Tammy from The Ultimate Linky. Our goal is to grow this party so that there will be new people linking up every week so that you can continue to get new followers!

This is no ordinary link party, because there are two linkies in this party, and you can do just one or both if you wish.

In an ideal world I would wake up to the smell of bacon frying every morning. Yes! Bacon and eggs and maybe a couple of sausages. And since we are at it add a few pieces of spinach pie with feta cheese and I'm good. Yes in an ideal world that would be my breakfast.

Spinach Rice {Spanakorizo} - Σπανακόρυζο

(Συνταγή στη Ελληνικά στο τέλος της σελίδας)

When life gives you spinach make...Spanakorizo!

I blame today's recipe on a half-hearted and ultimately failed attempt to do a 3-day juice cleanse. Blame is a harsh word because I enjoyed this simple and very healthy dish very much.. But let me explain... Early Monday morning, that damned day when all diets that are doomed to fail start, found me at the farmer's market buying bucketfuls of spinach, apples, celery, carrots, beets, all in hope that I will be able to complete said 3-day juice cleanse. I juiced and blended for 2 hours but by the time lunchtime came I had already given up. The apples and the carrots could wait but the spinach could not. Something had to be done to lessen my quilt and to utilise that bucketful of the beautiful organic spinach I had in my fridge.

Gluten Free Coconut Macaroons - Μπισκότα Καρύδας

Συνταγή στα Ελληνικά προς το τέλος της σελίδας

Coconut Macaroons! Why, oh why, did I wait so long before I baked them? 

I am inexcusable! 

They are now officially my favourite cookies. It was a very close race, with the Chocolate with White Chocolate Chips Cookies coming a very close and proud second but in end coconut took down chocolate with a bang.

I hope you haven't forgotten that I set myself the challenge to bake and photograph all 125 cookies in Roben Ryberg's The Ultimate Gluten-Free Cookie Book.

Tuna - Sardine - Olive Rillettes #FrenchFridayswithDorie - Αλειμματα με Τονο - Σαρδέλες - Ελιες

There's been a bit of a confusion on our group's Facebook page about this week's recipe, Tuna Rillettes. Have we done it before or not? And if we had, was this going to be a make up week for those who missed it?

I've missed way to many recipes to be concerned with whether we have done it or not. Chances were that it was one of those that I've missed. 

It turns out it was not! There are three recipes for rillettes in Dorie Greenspan's fabulous cookbook Around My French Table, one with sardines that the group did before I joined, in April 2012, one with salmon that has not been chosen yet and one with tuna which was our assignment for today. I have to say that even though technically I had missed the sardines it was not because of my inability to properly schedule my life to cook on time and participate with the group every week. And so I decided to try both the sardines and the tuna and throw another one made with olives on the side as well!
