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 months. Peel the potatoes and cut t

Square Box Birthday Cake

 This was a birthday cake for a twelve year old girl, called Hara.
On a ball I added 100gr of caster sugar and a few drops of purple colour. With the help of a spoon I managed to create a purple sugar effect. I used a bit of vodka to wet the top part of the bow foldings and then I stuck the sugar on them by dipping the wet part of the bow foldings into the sugar.

I used a new camera to take the photos and I had a little problem with the photos.  I will try to have a better result the next time...

  21. First off I would like to say superb blog! I
    had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.

    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
    Cheers!
