Special Food

This type of classification helps to present recipes with another point of view and in an alternative manner. One thing is sure, there are many Greek recipes in this blog but there are also a lot of vegetable recipes, so I thought that a category for vegetarian and vegan (very trendy and for courageous people!) food might make sense. I also decided to include recipes coming from other cultures so I created an additional category for “Food for Around the World” :-) So enjoy :-)

Tarts with cherry tomatoes and tapenade with black olives

This tart with cherry tomatoes and homemade tapenade is really gorgeous! Tomatoes couple very well with the tapenade which is a sort of puree with black olives and their taste is like no other  Make the time to make homemade puff pastry because this version is quick and has nothing to do with commercial puff pastry! Mark my words!

Gaspacho with red pepper

This gaspacho comes from a recipe of the Great French Chef Alain Ducasse and it’s special because the red peppers first are cooked in the oven and then they are added with the other ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, onion, garlic, basil) into the mix that stays in the refrigerator overnight! At the end, we add a little bit of Xérès vinegar for even more flavor! It’s really very good!
