Olive Oil Cake
Olive oil cake is a classic throughout Greece and once you have a taste you’ll know why. Somehow it works…all the flavours sing in perfect harmony and the cake is extremely moist and, in this recipe, whipping the sugar with the whole eggs produces a fine and rather airy texture. While some people may think that these cakes will have an overwhelming olive oil flavour, but nothing could be further from the truth. If you use a good quality, fruity olive oil, you will find it to be really delicate, with a just a hint of lemon.

Halvas (Semolina Pudding)
The traditional durum semolina based Greek halva recipe is often referred to as “1:2:3:4″, as it calls for one unit oil, two semolina, three sugar and four water. So simple! If you haven’t tried semolina Greek halva before, you will be surprised by the delicious taste of those 4 humble ingredients, when combined.. here’s my version!
Karodopita Walnut Cake
Karidopita (kah-ree-THOH-pee-tah) is a moist walnut cake that is flavoured with cinnamon and bathed in sweet syrup. The traditional recipe calls for breadcrumbs, a whopping 250g of butter and quite a bit of sugar…Yes, It’s quite decadent, but as a lover of all things cinnamon it definitely has my stamp of approval! My version here is made with Olympian Self Raising Flour and is a little more pleasing to your waistline but just as delicious.
