GRILLED OCTOPUS
Summertime is all about eating light and using the best and tastiest ingredients. It is also a great time to consume a lot of seafood. One of my favorite seafood delicacies is octopus. Growing up in Greece, this was a summer staple at the beach restaurants. A lot of people are intimidated by the taste…

MEDITERRANEAN SUMMER SALAD
Salads do not get as much love as they should. They make a perfect meal either for lunch and dinner. Something that can be quick, easy, and refreshing. This Mediterranean salad does just that. It is very simple to make, packed full with flavor, and you feel light after eating it and not stuffed, while…

CRABCAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
Nothing like crisp crabcakes in the summertime. I love them so much, and the best thing is there is so many ways to eat them: plain; as a sandwich; as a taco; the possibilities are endless. I decided to have them with some homemade slaw and eat them as is. Instead of frying them, I…

FISH AND CHIPS
Next to wings, one of my favorite pub foods is fish and chips. Something about meaty, fried fish, dipped in briny tartar sauce hits all my taste buds in the best way possible. And you can never go wrong with fried potatoes. Although this is not the healthiest of meals, it is definitely satisfying. The…

LOBSTER RAVIOLI WITH BROWN BUTTER LEMON CREAM SAUCE

MUSSELS IN A GARLIC WHITE WINE SAUCE WITH SPAGHETTI

MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED WHOLE FISH
Summertime and nothing I love more than grilling! With the occasional burger or sausage being grilled, I get cravings for some good, old fish. There is nothing like the smell of a beautifully seasoned fish over a nice hot fire. The best part, it is pretty easy and not as difficult as some people think.…

CURRIED SALMON SOUP
One of the best things about Summer and warmer weather is all the fresh fish and veggies that are available and at your disposal for cooking. Although grilled fish is one of my favorite and go-to recipes, for this one I decided to try something different. I took a traditional fish soup and blended it…

Oven Baked Salmon Steaks
Salmon is definitely one of my favorite tasting and versatile fishes to cook. They are filled with good fat and vitamins, and when fried in butter, the skin turns to crispy perfection. Instead of frying the salmon, this variation instead bakes it in foil, sealing in the juices and flavor, thus keeping the meat tender…
