“This wasn’t your best work mum!”
Like most home cooks, I’ve had my share of failures in the kitchen over the years and, whilst it is disappointing when a recipe doesn’t turn out like I hope, to me it’s just part of learning. A few months ago, I found a recipe in a food magazine that I had been looking for…

Unexpected Party
The night before the wedding was a ‘thank you’ dinner organised by Cath and Michael to show their appreciation to family and friends for making the long journey to Naxos for their wedding. The dinner venue was a tavern right next to ‘Banana Beach Bar’, which was where the wedding reception would happen the next…

Marika’s Table
Sitting under the shade of a grapevine on a brilliant summer’s day at Marika’s table eating delicious Greek food made from home grown ingredients, is an experience that stays with you forever.

The joy of food in Greece
Fresh food cooked simply is what Greek food is all about and recently I had the pleasure of eating some amazing meals whilst holidaying in Greece. The most memorable is my birthday lunch at ‘Spilia’ (Mykonos) – the most fantastic restaurant I’ve been to so far.

Memories of a very special day

Our first Sunday dinner for 2017
With the craziness of Christmas and New Year done and dusted, life is quickly returning back to normal with our first Sunday dinner for 2017. It was the perfect day to have our first family dinner for the year on our balcony – our favourite place to eat – and it was great to have my family back…

Food tastes better when you eat it with family!
For most people Sunday night signals the end of the weekend but for me, Sunday is the day I look forward to the most. It’s the day my husband and I get to spend time with the most important people in our lives; our amazing 3 sons, their beautiful ladies and our gorgeous little grandson.
