The imam baildi I know and love involves my Aunt Mary's kitchen in Athens, a huge pot, a barrel of fresh olive oil stored underneath the sink, and the obvious (eggplants, onions, garlic and canned tom...
Sprint To The Table for Guacamole Hummus 15 Aug 2013 | 07:30 am
We've got something fresh happening and for hummus sake! Banana Wonder's first ever guest post. I met Laura, aka Hotlanta as my LA friends like to call her, a few years ago in San Francisco at a Blogg...
Sprouted Spelt Blackberry Nectarine Crisp with Lavender Whipped Cream #VeganNotVegan 1 Aug 2013 | 04:38 pm
I couldn't wait for the heatwave to break so I could bake. It finally did (rain!) and the first thing on my mind was to use a basket of beautiful, freshly picked blackberries found at the local produc...
Cilantro-mint Pea Whirl Radish Toasts (with rosé!) 19 Jul 2013 | 07:26 am

Lent is over, Greek Easter happened. I didn't smoke an entire lamb in my front yard like some of my diehard patriots; instead I ate pizza and copious amounts of brie. It was lovely! Although I do love...
Amaranth and Pepita Waffles (vegan) 9 May 2013 | 03:20 pm
These waffles are my ode to Aztecs - as they were one of the firsts to use the ancient grain amaranth and one of the first documented to eat pumpkin seeds. Also, I just learned the Greek word for pepi...
Taro, Macadamia, and Maui Onion Salad 2 May 2013 | 03:57 pm
