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...

Penne Rosa made with greek yogurt. (Or, dinner last night.)
20 minutes & awesome. Just a friendly PSA. BUT…I left out the shrimp and subbed basil and arugula for spinach.
eProps to Melinda for linking.

HOORAY for all things pasta! This looks delicious!
