Duck Breast
Hello everyone. It has been a while since my last post. I will not give you a recipe for this post, since it was a complimentary dish from a dearest person. All I can say is that it was delicious!
Vasilopita for the 1st Day of 2013
Happy New Year 2013!!!
---------------------------------
On the 1st day of each
year, in Cyprus and Greece
There are a million
recipes for this type of cake, and we all believe that our recipe is the
best :-)
My
mum usually bakes an orange cake, with almonds. I use orange puree,
masticha powder and zizimbri (ginger), and instead of butter I use extra virgin
olive oil.
Happy New Year Efti to you and your family. You know the recipe I make as it's in my cookbook but this year had a lot of mandarins so I made it with mandarins. I didn't know that ginger is called zizimbri but your Vassilopita sounds like a great flavoured one.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too my dearest Ivy!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year dear Efty!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this name - Vasilopita.
What kind of cake is it?
Happy New Year Eft. I love the flavours of masticha and orange so I am sure your vasilopita is fantastic. I love the fact that u use only olive oil instead of butter ! Katerina T
