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.

Easter Cookies


During the Easter time we usually give chocolate as a gift to our loved once. This year I decided to make something different.  I chose to give Easter Cookies.  The recipe I chose was a basic Vanilla Cookie recipe, and the decoration was done with fondant.  
My kids helped me a bit with this project, and I have to admit that it took me almost 3 hours to finish decorating all 45 cookies.  I think that next year the project it’s going to be cupcakes.  For the moment I feel so tired I do not even think about making any more cookies this year J.  
Below you can find photos of my creations.  I hope you like them. Happy Easter!!

    Hello! Thanks for your comment! I saw your friend request on food buzz and figured you must be Greek or Cypriot since you have the same name as my thea. My former last name was Mantzouranis! Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to reading more of your posts! Especially now that I just had a baby!

    Best,

    Kat

    These cookies are beautiful and the presentation is amazing. From all your other recipes I have read, you have great presentation skills. This is something I need to work on. I really enjoy reading your recipes. Have you had training in cake or other cooking methods? How did you learn to create such well presented creations?

    Thank you for your nice comments. I really appreciate your opinion because this is what makes me better and better. I had no formal training of any kind, I only have passion and love for what I do. I tried several recepies and methods, failing many times, before I reached this point. I still make mistakes but I never give up. As a school teacher told me once "practice makes perfect" and my first boss told me "failure is the mother of success". These two phrases are always with me in everything I do.
