Greek Rice Pudding For those of you who know of my parents restaurant, you know that we feed you well enough not to offer a ton of desserts, however one of everyone's favorite was my Yiayia (grandmothers) Ella's recipe for rice pudding.
Spanakopita - Spinach Pie - With A Twist
Spanakopita – Spinach Pie – With A Twist
This week I had a craving for my mother’s traditional Spanakopita aka Spinach Pie. Before I decided to jump into her classic recipe, I wanted to see if I could tweak the recipe without completely harming the integrity of my favorite Spanakopita.
I love taking a tried and true recipe and adding a fun twist. Any Greek is likely wondering why I would mess with such a good thing like Spanakopita

Brunch Details That Make All The Difference!
Brunch Details That Make All The Difference!
My absolute favorite meal to cater is hands down a brunch! I find it to be the most exciting for many reasons… Firstly, as I’m sure you know, brunch is a mixture of breakfast and lunch food – this adds a full additional menu element to the meal. It can be a lighter fare but can also give you the freedom to be creative with the meal, but especially the details.
If you’re ending your weekend…

Michigan Sun Gold Tomatoes
Michigan Sun Gold Tomatoes
One amazing aspect of September in Michigan is that we’re truly able to experience the beauty and phenomenon of the Fall foliage changing colors. Not only do the leaves change, but the vegetables popping up at your local farmers market are also changing.
I stopped at the Farmers Market in Pontiac, Michigan this morning and was able to pick up a few of the end of the season Sun Gold Mini Cherry

Fennel and Fava Bean Salad
Fennel and Fava Bean Salad
Michigan is just starting to see the farmers market bloom. But, pea pods and their blossoms were in full supply along with fresh Michigan peaches. This week I was at the Italian market and found fresh Fava Beans. Fava Beans are my favorite! There is no getting around how labor intensive they can be, but they’re perfect for a summer salad and well worth the effort.
The main key with Fava Beans…

Aperol Spritz Push-Pops
Looking for something fun and refreshing to serve around the pool? I love offering a boozy popsicle, especially in push-pop form!
Last summer, I was honored to be featured in Detroit’s Hour Magazine for my Rose Popsicles, this year I have tried a few more varieties and I loved the way the Aperol Spritz turned out! Aperol smells and taste like Campari but has less alcohol. It tends to have a…

Baklava Sundaes
I love the quintessential New York City coffee cups. Not only because they are so Greek but also because whenever I see one, I always think of a beautiful morning in NYC!
I am often hired to create a lovely (and usually outdoor) summer meal that compliments my specialty – my Greek heritage. Michigan summers tend to get extremely hot and humid. Baklava Sundaes are the perfect modern twist to…

Mediterranean Platter
The perfect Summer lunch: Marinated Greek style pork, chicken and tenderloin skewers, tzatziki dipping sauce, persian cucumbers, creamy Bulgarian feta, buttery olives, sweet heirloom cherry tomatoes, roasted hot Hungarian peppers.
This is what Summer grilling and what Summer entertaining is all about! I constantly receive many calls from friends during the summer asking what to serve for…

Michigan Asparagus Soup
I love being from the Great Lake State. I love the lakes, the seasons, our sports teams, and of course the fresh produce. We all love Michigan cherries but did you know Michigan ranks #2 in the country in growing asparagus? After long Michigan winters one of the first signs of Spring is when we are able to get homegrown Michigan asparagus. It is one of the first vegetables to pop up in April and…

Cherry Bombe's 6th Annual Jubilee in New York!
Cherry Bombe’s 6th Annual Jubilee in New York!
Like most industries, the food industry is ever changing and evolving. I love a hands on approach to education. It would be amazing to jet off to another country, and immerse myself in their culture, food, and techniques. But, realistically, it can be difficult to find time in your busy day-to-day schedule to fit in research and education. Luckily, there are so many food-oriented events, and…

Mitch's Tavern Style Braised Short Ribs
Mitch’s Tavern Style Braised Short Ribs
I grew up knowing about all kinds of ribs. Baby backs, spare ribs, St Louis ribs, and lets not forget the short ribs! My father’s restaurant, Mitch’s Tavern, was famous for their baby back ribs. He was ahead of his time when it came to cooking them. Our famous Mitch’s ribs were cooked on a open fire pit that sat in the middle of the kitchen. It was not unusual to find either my dad or my uncle on…

Winter Citrus Salad featuring Ladi Biosas Olive Oil
Winter Citrus Salad featuring Ladi Biosas Olive Oil
I recently was given the honor to be an ambassador for one of my favorite companies, Ladi Biosas! I had the pleasure of selling their decedent olive oils in my pop-up shop during the holiday season. It flew off the shelves — I couldn’t keep it in stock! It is easy for me to promote and partner with a company that has the integrity of Ladi Biosas.
Ladi Biosas is a family owned company produces…

Roasted Tomato Soup
It’s very snowy and cold here in Detroit. And any soup recipe could help taper the chill! One of things I love about a pot of soup is that it can satisfy any crowd. I also love that it can serve as a main course with a big hunk of bread and it becomes a real meal. Soups are easy, healthy, and satisfying.
This soup is simple but delicious. I added a little heat (Hungarian Peppersare my go-to!)…
