White Chocolates with Raspberries, Masala Chai and Vanilla / Σοκολατάκια Λευκής Σοκολάτας

How long have I had this blog? Two, three years? I still don't know how to schedule a post! Because this post was supposed to be published last week, just in time for Christmas so that it might give you an idea for a homemade gift to bring to your holiday gatherings. 

Baklava Cheesecake / Cheesecake με Μπακλαβά

It's Cake Slice time again! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this group! All the beautiful, delicious cakes we are going to bake this year!

A few weeks ago I received a package. The package itself was as plain as packages go but the contents brought a huge smile to my face! Silicon baking moulds from the good people at Silikomart! 

Baklava with Cranberries and White Chocolate / Μπακλαβάς με Λευκή Σοκολάτα και Κράνμπερις

Now that I have my Sweet Spice Mix ready, it's time I baked something!

Baklava is, off course, available all year round in Greece but for me it is definitely a Christmas treat. All its ingredients scream Christmas from afar... walnuts, honey, cinnamon...I just love it! It doesn't feel like Christmas if there isn't even one small tray of baklava in the house. It's like Christmas Eve without listening to Christmas songs.

The holiday season is upon us. I am sure you are gearing up for it. Thinking about guest lists and menus, shopping for gifts and ingredients for your festive creations. I like this rush of planning and organising. It can be daunting and stressful at times but I as soon as I think about the wonderful time we are bound to have with friends and family I forget all about it.

Pumpkin & Clementine Soup / Σούπα με Κολοκύθα και Μανταρίνι

I woke up this morning with "Let it Snow" playing in my head.
You know the song, it goes like this...

"Oh the weather outside is frightful..
 But the fire is so delightful"

Well, the weather outside is definitely not frightful.
