Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food.

Easy Vanilla Ice Cream Dessert

This posting was taken from my previous blog in wordpress.com https://dreamsofcakes.wordpress.com/.  It an easy dessert that can be prepared in minutes, so I decided to re-post it.  Enjoy!

When we decide to eat ice-cream we usually choose to buy different flavors. Have you ever thought that a plain vanilla ice-cream can be transformed into any flavor that you wish, in just a few minutes? The dessert that I am suggesting below takes only 5 minutes to be prepared.

All you need is three ingredients: Vanilla Ice-Cream and two different kinds of cereals. I used Honey Balls and Coco Pops. My first thought was to use Oreo Cookies but soon I realized that the cookies were long gone…

In a wooden bowl crush the cereals. You can achieve this result by using a plastic bag and plaster.

Divide the crushed cereals into different plates. Now you are ready to proceed with the ice-cream.


Take a scoop of Vanilla Ice-Cream and put it on each plate. With a teaspoon cover the ice-cream with the crushed cereals. The dessert is almost ready…



Place the ice-cream on a plate. Your dessert is ready. A plain vanilla ice-cream can be transformed into a gourmet dessert in just a few minutes. This is a clever solution when you have unexpected guests, or when your time is limited and you truly wish to impress your audience. Enjoy…!
