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...

Here is the recipe for the incredible Balsamic Orange Glazed Chicken and Creamy Goat Cheese Polenta last night.
As a side note, I’m going to be making that polenta recipe pretty much every week. It’s easy, fast, and beyond delicious.

Yes, please!  Especially that polenta!!!

Thanks to Joy for showing me this. Now I must find some pho for lunch tomorrow! Oh, and obviously make this perhaps over the weekend.

Love me some pho!

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!
