Not Just Greek Salad

This is my take on a Greek salad. Salty, sweet, creamy and simply mouth-watering. I love combining Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours as it always makes the food taste super interesting. On my recent trip to Greece, I learnt that according to their legislations, feta cheese can only be called feta if it is made of 70% unpasteurized sheep’s milk or sheep’s and goat’s milk. It

This recipe is a a great one to use when looking for something quick, fresh and delicious to prepare for a Rosh Hashana meal.

Beetroot and Mint Crusted Salmon

Growing up, my mom always told stories of my gran and her culinary skills, describing all the dishes that came out of her tiny kitchen in Haderah, Israel. Often, while we prepared traditional dishes for the Chag, my mom told me tales of how, when walking home from school on the morning before Rosh Hashana, she would reach the corner on her street and catch
