Roasted Cod With Tomatoes And Olives
White Bean Dip with Rosemary
Creamy white beans blended with aromatic rosemary-infused olive oil, savory Parmesan cheese, and fresh lemon juice create a smooth, flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dip. This delicious appetizer offers a wonderful balance of earthy herbs, bright citrus, and delicate garlic flavor.
Mediterranean Olive Oil Cake
A beautifully moist Mediterranean cake featuring fruity olive oil, fragrant orange zest, delicate almond flour, and juicy berries. Lightly sweet with a tender crumb and golden crust, this rustic dessert captures the sunny flavors of the Mediterranean. Perfect with afternoon tea or coffee.
Hummus
A Mediterranean and Middle Eastern favorite made with tender chickpeas, creamy tahini, fresh lemon juice, and aromatic garlic. Blended until silky smooth and finished with extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of tangy sumac, this wholesome dip delivers rich flavor and a satisfying, creamy texture.
Braised Escarole
A traditional Italian side dish featuring tender escarole gently braised in olive oil with garlic, red pepper flakes, and a touch of lemon. This simple Mediterranean favorite delivers a delicious balance of slightly bitter greens, savory garlic, and bright citrus flavors.
Greek Potato Salad
Greek Potato Salad is an interesting variation on traditional potato salad. Instead of mayonnaise, we're using olive oil, lemon juice, feta cheese, and oregano. And the zucchini makes it a little different from the usual Greek salad.
Baked French Toast
This no-fail, lightened-up overnight baked French toast with fresh fruit and honey-lime syrup is perfect for brunch, holidays, and fuss-free gatherings. Get it ready the night before, then simply pop it in the oven while you enjoy your morning coffee!
Red Lentil Soup
A hearty Mediterranean soup featuring tender red lentils, carrots, tomatoes, and aromatic spices simmered in a flavorful broth. Partially blended for a rich, velvety texture and finished with fresh lemon juice and cilantro, this comforting soup is nutritious, satisfying, and deliciously simple.
Greek Stuffed Tomatoes
Juicy tomatoes and colorful bell peppers filled with a fragrant mixture of rice, fresh zucchini, potatoes, aromatic herbs, and Mediterranean seasonings. Slowly baked in olive oil and natural tomato juices alongside tender roasted potatoes and zucchini.
Traditional Italian Biscotti
Cantucci, also called Biscotti di Prato, are a classical sweet treat from northern Tuscany. They have a very ancient history and are now considered the most traditional dessert in the whole region. Imagine that the first official record of their existence comes from a book written in 1691!
Whole Wheat Ciabatta Bread
This whole wheat ciabatta is like the old no-knead ciabatta with a higher-fiber makeover. The taste and texture, and going 50-50 with the all-purpose flour provided just enough of that crusty, chewy "normal" bread experience.
Galaktoboureko Rolls
Galaktoboureko (pronounced ga-la-kto-BOU-re-ko) is one of the most popular of all Greek pastries! It's a traditional Greek custard pie made with phyllo pastry (aka fillo dough) and syrup. Serve it with fruit to give it that extra fresh and sweet bite. Not to mention, it looks nice too.
