Cold Brewed Coffee
The summer is around the corner, or maybe where you live it is already there… or it has always been there. The botom line is that the hot, steaming cup of coffee is not appetizing during this time of the year. You need something to wake you up and refresh you. The last 2-3 years a new caffeinated beverage joined the market. It is the “Cold Brew”. It is a welcome alternative to the hot coffee and…

It's been a while
It’s been a while
The last post on this blog (before this one i mean) was posted in March 18th 2015 and it was a cocktail (A Tsikoudia Cocktail: Bloddy Mario). Since then two years went by without any posts or updates. As a matter of fact the website went down for months before I figured out that there was a problem. Why? Well life happened. My job became much more demanding and the time required for the updates…

A Tsikoudia Cocktail: Bloddy Mario (Mar-yò)
A Tsikoudia Cocktail: Bloddy Mario (Mar-yò)
One of the most classic cocktails in the history of bar drinks is the Bloody Mary. It is a divine combination of ingredients not regularly found in cocktails and spirits that compliment the flavor and the textures. What are those ingredients? It is tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce with the clear and neat spirit of Vodka. It is one of the very rare savory cocktails that are combined…

Sweeteners: Know your Sugar(s)
Sweeteners: Know your Sugar(s)
The white substance that it’s flavor has been coded on our DNA as the most desirable flavor, the last few years it has been blamed for every dietary disease. I am talking of course about sugar. The crystallized molecules of sucrose, that carry with them not only the sweetest flavor, but also the most densely packed energy. Energy that once was essential for survival, now is converted to…

Culinary Metrology
On cooking the primary reason for success is inspiration, in baking is measuring. By that of course I don’t mean that measuring is not required in cooking, but deviation from the original ratio of ingredients can be forgiving. And equally when baking inspiration is a key but deviating from the recipe ratio even for very little it will immediately cause inconsistencies in the outcome or even…

Greek Christmas Cookies: Kourampiedes
Greek Christmas Cookies: Kourampiedes
Every country or nation that has more than 50 years exposure to Christianity will have a special dessert that made exclusively around the Christmas time. Greece is no exception, and since it had embraced christianity for almost 2000 years the number of desserts for the occasion is huge. However, the one that is closer to my heart, because is delicious and also is what my grandma used to make…

The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique
The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique
I used to say and I still do, that cooking in all its glory is 30% ingredients and 70% technique. The best ingredients can be transformed to crap with bad techniques and mediocre ingredients to gold with great technique. Imagine tiling your floors. You have no technique, but you did buy the best tiles at the store. How do you thing this will end up? Well not good… Same goes with other aspects of…

Apple Pie Cocktail: Apple Pie in a Glass
Apple Pie Cocktail: Apple Pie in a Glass
The first think that comes to mind when we put together the words cocktail and apple is the Green Apple Martini. That is an abomination of the sissified neon cocktail era that haunted the 70s, 80s and half of the 90s. The mixture of a sugar mixture, with artificial color artificial flavor and artificial aroma with vodka in a glass is as close to a cocktail as close is a skateboard to a…

Greek Delight: a Masticha Cocktail
Greek Delight: a Masticha Cocktail
There is a great Greek dessert that is called Greek Delight. It is actually more widely known as Turkish Delight, since it originated in Turkey. Some people still dispute that which is reasonable. After 400 years of culinary overlap recipes did exchange back and forth and many dishes lost origin. We can, however, give the credit to the Turkish for the development of this delightful dessert.…

When on travel I try to find local place to enjoy my coffee. Big chains like Starbucks are fine, but they are the same everywhere. They do not carry the local flare and they don ‘t really let you feel the local atmosphere. Restaurants although they deal with the local crowds and cuisine are a bit more formal. Coffee shops allow for a more casual free-spirited atmosphere, and usually they have the…

One pot Wonders – Part I: Peanut Butter & Chocolate Sandwich
This is a strange post. It is the one and only post that has been created out of pure necessity. It is some of the inspirations of the moment that just make the difference between eating and indulging. And indulging in 5 mins is a lot more than just indulging! Sometimes I work late. I come home and easiest thing to cook is a sandwich, but a sandwich is not really cooking. Is more like putting…

Homemade Grenadine Syrup
As always, we will venture to the history and the origin of this elixir before we make it. The name grenadine originated from the French word grenade which means pomegranate, with pomme meaning apple and granate derived from the Italian word for seeds. Grenadine was originally prepared from pomegranate juice, sugar, and water. s grenadine is subject to minimal regulation, its basic flavor…
