I have made a few phyllo pies in the past but one could say that I did them ‘free form’…. not really paying attention to any traditions.
This time I decided to do it the proper way.
Probably the phyllo pie that is the most … Continue reading.....
I decided it was time to make a quiche.

They just don’t seem very interesting on their own.
When I was a child the only fresh vegetables we had were … Continue reading.....
