Frozen yogurt is a popular dessert made with yogurt. It has a creamy texture and sweet, tangy taste. Frozen yogurt is quite similar to ice cream, but the main difference is that it’s made with milk instead of cream. Additionally, like ice cream, it is often sold in cups or cones with a wide range of...

Most halloumi is made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk or cow’s milk, or sometimes just one of those. The cheese is really salty, and it has a high melting point which makes it perfect for frying! Halloumi has almost a “rubbery” texture, but only in the sense that it’s rather firm and holds...

Roasted sweet potatoes are pretty darn delicious with a simple sprinkling of salt, but should you want something more, these spuds are super versatile and take well to extra flavorings. Toss the cubes with a shower of ground cinnamon before they go into the oven, then add a generous drizzle of honey about halfway through...

With summer at its peak, smoothie, fruit juice, sharbat, milkshake, iced tea, tender coconut water, fresh seasonal fruits and salad are the way to go in our home. I tend to go the smoothie way during the hot season since its quick to make, calls for seasonal fresh ingredients, versatile, filling and healthy. Yesterday, I made fruit lassi or mixed...

This veggie-packed frittata recipe is super simple but SO good. It would make an awesome Easter or anytime brunch recipe, because it looks (and tastes!) fancy.

This classic carrot soup is an easy soup packed full of flavour, with sweet scented cinnamon and caraway adding an unusual depth.

Mediterranean influenced foods are the key of traditional foods of Cyprus. This island is nestled in an area that is rich in influences from Greek, Turkish, French, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

There are various ways to cook beets for this dip. The first is roasting them in the oven, which is my favorite method because slow roasting really concentrates the flavor of the beetroot and makes them sweeter, and taste earthier. However, if you don’t have an oven, you can boil them unpeeled in water for...

Roasted cherry tomatoes are easy to make, but it takes a while for them to shrivel in the oven and become all jammy and concentrated. I suggest making them ahead of time – they can sit at room temp until you’re ready to assemble the salad. When you come home, have a glass of wine,...

A creamy Greek garlic sauce often served as a topping, a condiment, or a food dip that is commonly prepared with numerous Mediterranean foods. Tzatziki is a white sauce made with yogurt, cream, cucumbers, fresh herbs and seasonings, such as mint, dill, olive oil, and garlic. Served as a chilled sauce, tzatziki is commonly used...

These lamb kofta flatbreads with cucumber yoghurt sauce are way tastier than any takeaway kebab. The extra effort required to make the flatbreads yourself is definitely worth it! With tender, flavoursome lamb, chewy flatbreads, plenty of crisp salad and a sprinkling of crunchy almonds, this meal is the ultimate combination of textures and flavours. Depending...

These muffins are more healthy than your average blueberry muffins. They’re made with 100 percent whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat flour, which you can hardly taste). Whole wheat flour offers redeeming whole grain nutrients and extra fiber. The muffins are also naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, which lend subtle honey or maple flavor...
