Sauces are an art form in French cuisine. For me, a good homemade sauce can transform everything. Like a seasoning, it transforms a dish, giving it depth, character, and sometimes a whole new personality. And yet we rarely talk about it.

Sometimes the day is just exhausting. You come home, take off your shoes — and all you want is one thing: comfort. Put something on in the background, wrap yourself in a soft blanket and have a snack. And then your hand reaches for fast carbohydrates — crackers, cereal, cookies. But deep down you want something else. Real food, hearty, warm, which seems to say: “I'm here. Everything will be fine.” I'm not a supporter of dogmas. I just love simple food prepared with care.

Delicious warm or cold, it fits just as well on a picnic as on your quiet afterno

On the islands, moussaka is almost like our Sunday pie: it brings the family together, fills the house with the aromas of cinnamon and tomatoes, and lingers in the memory for a long time. Its taste is like an open window on the coast, where the wind brings the smell of fried eggplant, homemade sauce and freshly whipped béchamel. This is not just a casserole. This is Greece in a spoon . Tart, spicy, tender. And, like everything important, made with patience. 🫒 What you will

When the clouds descend on Corfu and the sea becomes steely and quiet, you want something simple and enveloping. Avgolemono soup is not just food, it is Greek comfort in a plate that you keep in your memory from childhood. It’s warm, lemony, velvety – like grandma’s voice calling from the terrace: “Έλα να φας, παιδί μου!” Cooked in homemade chicken broth , with egg and lemon juice, with rice and a spoonful of real extra virgin olive oil , this soup gently warms and invig
