Spicy Bread

This is a recipe I got from a friend who lives in Turkey. It's a delicious spicy bread and it's incredibly easy to make. You can add any spices you like. I change the spices each time I make it.

Beef Stifado

stifado

Ever since I came back from my summer holiday in Greece, I've been thinking about making stifado. I bought a book with Greek recipes on my way back from Corfu, and I made the stifado according to the recipe in the book. It's a traditional Greek dish made with beef, small onions and a lot of different spices. In our, Macedonian, cuisine we have a similar dish called chomlek (чомлек), and I like it a lot, but there's something about the stifado recipe that makes it exotic and natural at the same time. And, I almost forgot - I pronounce it my favorite. That explains why there are so few photos, I couldn't lose time in taking photographs, the entire house smelled divinely.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

The first time I tried to make these cookies, the final result was one huge cookie over the baking paper. This time I got them right, and I don't know if that's a good thing because they are so delicious that you can't stop eating them. Chewy and soft. Perfect, in one word.
