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...

Linguine alla carbonara from the only place I miss from back home, my favorite Italian restaurant of course!

Apr 1

a couple of weeks ago a had an intense craving for pasta… even though i’ve been trying to watch it - i’ve learned you should listen to your cravings and not ignore them. i sure listened to this one!

claire robinson’s spinach carbonara

this yummy recipe has a slight healthy twist. i used whole grain linguine and LOTS of fresh spinach… but i’m sure the crispy bacon, tossing the steamy pasta in the bacon grease and the parmesan/egg based sauce didn’t help! :)
