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.

ReplyDeleteI would love to have a cake made by your hands for my birthday today even if it is Micky :) Great job again.

ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the picture I immediately started singing the MMC song. I'll totally blame you if it's stuck in my head all day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis is greattttt!!!!!!i Love decorating........you really did a good Job!!!!i Love,this is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThis cake is adorable! Very creative and colorful too. I hope Michali loved it and will remember it for a very long time. Also I hope I'm not offending anyone with the comments I've posted recently; that is not my intention. Socially we are taught to always act in an acceptable manner, no matter your culture or background. Those "social norms" are universal and manners always count! Now if I could only that that song out of my head... ~Michelle M.
