culinary exploration

Follow me through the adventures that take place in my kitchen, in restaurants or in other kitchens. Cooking and food are my passions and I want to share my experiences of cooking, baking and eating with you.
I'm a Greek self-taught cook who lives in Chicago. I learned a lot about cooking from both of my grandmothers, my mom and dad, family and friends. Passing on timeless traditions through food is one thing I strive to do in life.

These are my journeys through culinary exploration...

Pureed beans My Japanese co-worker compared this to refried beans.  It pretty much tasted like it too.  It was served with crackers, but both my co-worker who accompanied me on the trip and myself pulled a typical American move by dipping the fried chicken skin in this bean dip.  Thankfully we ran out of skin, because that was dangerously tasty!
