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.

Mini Mouse Birthday Cake


This cake was made for two little sisters, Georgia and Despina.

It is a chocolate cake made with Cadbury Cocoa powder, biscuits, pure unsalted butter, icing sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla sugar and brandy.


The decoration was done with rolled fondant, buttercream and fresh cream. The mini mouse design was ready made. At the beginning I thought that a buttercream transfer would be a good option, but since now is summer in Cyprus I abandoned that idea…


In this post you will be able to see the buttercream design I made a few weeks ago, as well.


Happy Birthday to both Georgia and Despina!!!!!!!!!
