The one I bought might well have been home brew, but his road side stand was In the most amazing spot, high up with incredible views, I just fell for the magic of the moment 😆 I’ll look out for the Samos, I like a sweet wine with my desserts. Or any other time for that matter.

A big yes from me. It’s a UNESCO site so loads to see. Wander the streets, enjoy the stunning architecture, browse the shops, stop off for refreshments on Spianada Square and watch people playing cricket. Visit the museums and fortresses. Take the little street train to see further afield. Of...

Souma is the Rhodian version. I bought a bottle from a roadside stall and it was crazy stuff. I ended up cooking it with roast plums to burn off some of the alcohol.

Love the sound of this, healthy, fresh and vegan, exactly what I need 👍

I go to Pefkos every year and have friends on the island. For me, it’s the perfect resort for holidaying and just down the road from Lindos which gets a lot of tourists, but still beautiful. We stay away when the cruise ships are in. This year we went in September so were keeping a close eye...

When I was on Kos in June, there were fields nearby dedicated to growing pumpkins and squashes so it would make sense that they would be ready around now. On Rhodes recently the pomegranates and citrus fruits were looking ready to go on the trees, but unfortunately there were no markets, only...

Being vegan I don’t have too many dishes that potatoes would be served with, but I’ve had them with gemista, stifado and other adapted traditional dishes, and recently had fries made from hand cut potatoes rather than the processed version. They always taste beautiful.

I don’t have a particular favourite but I recently read these 3 stunning takes on the mythologies from the women’s perspectives. Highly recommended:

Corfu Town is beautiful for wandering, shopping and people watching. I love to catch the little road trains and whizz round the sights.

I tend to go for pitas and aubergine dip or hummus, maybe a gyros is there’s a vegetable one on the menu And a salad.

I didn’t know about salting them, I just grate them, put them in a tea towel and squeeze them as hard as I can. I save the juice to drink, it’s nice with a drop of gin cocktail 🍸😉

A while back my husband made a puff pastry tart with asparagus, minted pea purée and red onions. It was absolutely delicious and I suppose filo could be used for a more Greek experience.

I forgot to mention, I have this cookbook which is really helpful. I did‘nt pay anywhere near the prices currently on Amazon, etc, but I’m sure a reasonably priced one can be found.

I leave everything in apart from the fibrous core. All adds to the flavour.

I’ve made a few olive oil lemon drizzle cakes from recipes I googled and they were all very good.
