duck, chestnuts, and Bordeaux wine
Wishing you all an incredibly merry Christmas and a happy 2012. My confit de canard recipe coming up this week. Import from France, coupled with a fine Bordeaux wine, and for dessert, diples straight from Athens. Chestnuts straight from my farmer's market in front of my place in Maroussi. Also more photos to come from my weekend trip back to Athens where I had an apéritif for friends and a big...

fonduing my way around Switzerland
Bonjour mes amis. Back in the land of blogging. Have been working very hard, and have had some exciting travels on the weekends. Pics to come from the 10,000 weddings I attended this summer.
Here's a picture from a Swiss cheese fondue from last night. Good friends and good wine (Geneva Chasselas to be exact). Nothing better. This little place is located in Geneva's Junction. Typically, the fo...

i'm lame
So between organizing an international AIDS conference, and going to weddings, I have been lame in giving you all updates. 'The Cooking Odyssey' back in the US is being happily received by television audiences, the family is doing well, and to show you how busy I am, I haven't experimented with any recipes in over a month (perhaps two). I did eat extremely well in Paris however two weekends ago...20

Off to Lyon this evening. At last.
I have been talking about this since I was born. I'm off to the food capital of France tonight for the experience of a lifetime. Driving there with my mate Simon-Pier and staying at a friend's place. We will hit up a bouchon bistro in the old town I reckon. Bon weekend, mes amis. And tomorrow evening, dinner with the family across the pond.01

when one doesn't like lamb
the answer is goat. Had such an amazing time in mum's village for Easter. My uncle George roasted a full-size lamb on Easter Sunday. Thia Litsa cooked everything else (including a fab walnut cake). Quality time with cousins. Back in Geneva now. Here's a pic from the outcome of uncle George's efforts. Christos Anesti, and happy May day!

home sweet home
Just arrived in Athens for Easter. About to head to my mother's village outside of Kalamata for the classic roasting of lamb with my uncles, aunties, and cousins. I can't wait (abstained from meat and dairy products for 40 days, I'm going a bit nuts). Just elated to be back home. Despite people's massive troubles to simply get by given the economic climate, there's is something special about Ea...Blogger Info
