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 :-)

Apricot and Pistachio cream

For this diplomate cream (pastry cream and whipped cream) with fruits, apricot is King but it also has pistachio paste and some real pistachios for crunchiness! It’s very tasteful and smooth in mouth but remain delicate in taste ;-) French pastry after all is quite delicate and worth the detour!

Green salad with melon, apricots and rosemary

This wonderful salad is fresh and fruity but has some “seriousness” thanks to rosemary! The vinaigrette is perfumed with rosemary and this changes everything, even if it has not a strong taste ;-) But it’s there giving its character ;-)
