I love rose water almost as much as I love great vanilla. Almost. And if you’re like me, and you appreciate quick & filling meals that also taste great, you’ll love this combination. Which, by the way, you can also make with either vanilla or orange blossom water instead of the rose water! *swooning on [...]
For such an easy recipe, there’s a heckuva lotta mileage one can get out of this little dish. Made from whipped dried Turkish or Greek figs, it tastes like a rich caramel sauce when paired with apples, and has a wonderfully luscious texture (without the teeth-sticking cloying aspect of caramel, and no added sugar whatsoever). [...]
This raw vegan version of a famous and famously delicious Greek Stew is made with fresh tomatoes, seasoned with cinnamon and orange peel, and served up warm and comforting with chunks of zucchini, portabella mushroom, and raw walnuts. Extremely filling and flavorful, this dish takes just a few minutes to whip up. And it passed [...]
This recipe just explodes with flavor. I’ll remember to make a double-batch next time, because once the twenty-somethings came round, they were practically licking the bowl to get up every last drop. Almost felt bad I’d eaten so much of it for dinner. Uh…almost. p Eggplant… Tricky For Some Sensitive Eaters I’ve always had a [...]
You’ve got a cucumber and a couple tomatoes lying around… What can you make with it that’s…different? Use the tomatoes for the dressing! This simple, colorful twist on a salad made everyday in the home of Greeks everywhere is a feast for the eyes, and easily dressed up into infinite variations. The color of bright [...]
The perfume of rose infused with the sweetness of watermelon and the tartness of raspberries… it’s a deliciously romantic marriage. Simple, easy, a feast for the eyes, and a heady experience for the remaining senses. This recipe makes enough for one…but you know you’re going to have to double it for a special *someone* [...]
Unlike many recipes for savory or “cheesy” raw vegan dips and spreads, this recipe has no cashews. And unlike most hummus recipes, it has no sesame seeds, and no sprouting or soaking of nuts is required at all. All you need here are some almonds, walnuts, raw spinach and tomatoes, and a few other [...]
Beautiful fruit, beautiful colors, exquisite juiciness, the exotic aroma and flavors of honey, orange blossom, and rose water. A big batch of fruit salad just begging to be shared with others. Make this. Enjoy. Bask in its festive loveliness. The Mediterranean…sunshine…the sweetness of life. What could be better? pNote: You need to be logged in [...]
It is no secret to anyone who knows me well that my favorite dessert on the planet (even before a well-made cake) is the Greek dessert, Galaktobouriko. Made with a creamy semolina custard sandwiched between layers of phyllo dough, and then soaked in a distinctive syrup made with vanilla, lemon, orange blossom water and [...]
There are just soooo may ways I can think of creating a raw vegan gyro, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. And I may have to eventually call this “Raw Vegan Gyro #1″ as I begin to bring out the other, more complex, perhaps “meatier” versions I’ve already envisioned creating. But as I’ve received two [...]
