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.
Galaktobouriko Greek Custard Dessert
Galaktoboureko is a traditional Greek dessert made with layers of golden-brown crispy phyllo, sprinkled with melted butter and then filled with the creamiest custard and bathed in scented syrup.. and is quite simply heavenly!!! This is a very easy to follow Galaktoboureko recipe for you to recreate this traditional sweet delight from scratch with Olympian Semolina and Vanilla Powder.
Egg Noodle Chicken Soup
No food blog would be complete without a recipe for chicken noodle soup!! My version is made with Olympian Egg Noodle Pasta and is healthy, satisfying, and tastes incredible and so of all the chicken noodle soup recipes out there, this one is certainly my favourite, and is on heavy rotation through the winter months!
Trahanas Vegetable Soup with Veal
A hearty and satisfying soup with the unmistakable flavour of sweet Trahana – a fine grain pasta made from semolina and milk. Packed with hearty potatoes, sweet celery, and juicy chunks of veal isn’t just nutritious...it’s delicious and pretty much the ultimate comfort food. So, get ready to enjoy this most savoury of soups!
Trahanas Tomato Soup
Trahana is one of the oldest foods in the Eastern Mediterranean, a tiny, pebble-shaped grain product that varies widely all over Greece and this is just about the simplest dish to make with trahana. I think that it’s best made during the summer when you can get ripe, luscious tomatoes… but can be made anytime of the year as it ‘s also perfect for cold winter days as it literally warms your soul.
