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 :-)
Mini-bûche with apricots
This mini-bûche is Swiss roll or jelly roll with a filling of apricots, apricot jam and pistachios! On the outside there is some Italian meringue and even if it’s a bit technical as a dessert, it really worth the try because it’s really good!
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 ;-)
Swiss Brioche
Swiss brioche is brioche with a filling of pastry cream and chocolate chips! The brioche dough comes from a great French Pastry Chef called Christophe Felder and it’s simply amazing! Airy but not too much! Give it a try asap :-)
Brioche à tête
A brioche dough that is less airy than usual but very good! It reminds me of the brioches I used to eat as a child which were quite thick but so buttery and good! The original recipe comes from Martha Stewart!
Semolina Halva
This is a vegan dessert which is delicious and has a long tradition in Greece. The semolina is cooked and roasted into olive oil and then is soaked into a nice syrup which is perfumed with lemon zest and cinnamon! You can also find dried raisins and almonds for more flavor!
