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. It is usually sold in larger jars, but you can store the remainder in the freezer for mon...

ReplyDeleteHey girl. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, saying hi and leaving a comment. Had to stop by here. Fantastic cake. I thought the text on the cake looked Greek but having looked at your "about" page I'm not sure whether you're on the Greek, or Turkish side of Cyprus. So forgive me if I'm wrong, lol. Always wanted to visit Cyprus, wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteLoving all the details you added to this cake. It's so girly and pretty :)

Hi Lisa, thanks for your comments. I am Greek-Cypriot and allow me to say that all Cyprus is Greek. Turks invaded Cyprus in 1974 and now they still have half of the island. We hope that we will manage to find a solution so Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots will manage to live peacefully together.
DeleteThis cake is absolutely adorable. I have a birthday coming up this summer for a soon-to-be 7-year old nice, and she is really into makeup and nail polish, so I may look to your design for inspiration! And thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting! I'm new, so I get very excited when ANYONE, especially other seasoned bloggers, stops by for a look! :-) Have a great day!

So cuute!! You have an outstanding talent.
ReplyDeleteThis cake would make any little girl feel so grown up and special. Adorable accessories that look like you could pick them up and use them for real! Kids just want to be kids and today's society pushes them to grow up too fast. Just visit your local shopping mall and see the clothes little girls are expected to wear - they all look like miniature adults! Why are we pushing them to be adults so soon? Let kids grow at the right pace; they need to have the time to enjoy the wonder of the world that is theirs to explore at their pace. And as adults, lets look through the world through their eyes as well. It's amazing how your perspective will change! ~Michelle M.
