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...

Of course, after all that meat (and chicken skin) we had to end the meal with a bowl of rice.  This was garlic rice with a spicy broth and lots of meaty mushrooms.  Great way to finish off a protein-induced coma, with a huge bowl of rice!  But spicy rice that made my lips numb and raised my body temperature a little bit is ALWAYS welcome!!
