These biscuits are simply amazing! They combine the awesome taste of tahini and almonds, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, reminding “ergolavous”. Tahini offers plenty of calcium while almonds are a very good source of protein, Vitamin E and B. They are full of good fats that will keep you satiated for a while;…
Salted choconuts
This recipe is proof of the rule that simple things are sometimes the most delicious things. You only need 3 ingredients (unless you want to make homemade chocolate, then you need 6) and 10 minutes! You can imagine how well coconut matches with chocolate, but the biggest surprise is the salt which gives an unexpected…
Choco muffins with blueberries
I’ll be honest: I’ve never been a muffin fan. However, my husband who trains for the Marathon and has a big run every Sunday, loves them. He always gets muffins from the supermarket, full of sugar and preservatives. So, I set a goal this Sunday to make muffins that will satisfy Michael’s demands. For an…
Matcha and tahini energy bars
How can one resist these bars that combine two of my favourite superfoods, tahini and matcha? They have matcha’s tea like taste and the taste of sesame, while dried fruits (I added dates and plums) in combination with brown rice syrup add the perfect sweetness. They are incredibly rich in calcium and antioxidants, they are the…
Kale chips, two ways (en)
I know no one is going crave kale. Nor will I try to convince you that kale is the most delicious thing you’ve eaten. Nor that these chips are more delicious than potato chips (although I honestly admit that for me they are!). I’ll try to convince you that kale is probably the most nutritious…
Pistachio & matcha energy balls
This past week, I’ve been craving an afternoon snack at the office. I partly blame the weather for it (since it’s cold enough for my body to demand fat) and on my appetite after all the Christmas food, so I always have a few nuts with me to stop the hunger. As I had time…
Cacao quinoa energy bars
This is another of those recipes I’ve made to take with me to the mountains so that I have a delicious and healthy snack for when I’m hungry and need some energy. The plan was to put them in Sanitas incredible paper bags, keep them in my pocket and eat a bar of energy whenever…
Buckwheat breadsticks
This is my mother’s recipe, I just made some small adjustments in the ingredients to make them a little more “sauchy” and give my own signature substituted half of the white flour quantity with buckwheat flour and the other half with zea or spelt flour, but you can use whatever you have at home (as…
Creamy basil pesto
I am very proud to have managed to grow basil in London. In Greece, we may have a whole basil tree at home but trust me, with minimal sun in London, it’s a nightmare. I have occasionally tried to grow various of herbs, but nothing worked out. So, this particular basil plant is a great…
Multigrain bread rolls
This multigrain homemade bread rolls recipe will make for the most delicious and nutritious breakfast. This recipe has a hidden vegetable surprise: I added a little zucchini to give the rolls a softer, fluffier texture and some moisture so they are not very dry. I promise you that it doesn’t impact taste, and don’t you dare…
