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.

Little Prince Christening Party Theme


After a long, wonderful and relaxing weekend at Protaras I am back with a new post.
Two weeks ago, little Andreas was christened.  The ceremony took place at Omodos, a beautiful village 30’ minutes away from Limassol.
The theme of the christening party was “Little Prince”.  There were about 200 guests invited to the party and I have to say that we all had a great time!!
I prepared a three tier christening cake, which was decorated with fondant.  It was a chocolate fudge cake, filled with chocolate cream and fresh organic strawberries. 
Vanilla flavoring, with fresh organic strawberries and chocolate fudge cupcakes were given to each guest as a treat.  All were decorated with fondant icing.
------------------------------------------
This cake was decorated twice. I did not like the way it looked the 1st time, so I decided to make a new one.  I liked this one.  I hope you like it too!

I started decorating the cupcakes at 8:00 o' clock in the morning, and finished at 9:15' at night.

The Christening Party Decoration!!
 Each guest was offered a cupcake.
 A traditional sweet made with almonds and sugar was given to each family as well.
Cupcakes, marshmallows, candies and lollipops were all over the place!  Kids were so excited!
