We have been idle, καλό καλοκαίρι

I seem to have gravitated towards Twitter and Instagram, and working on a different platform for a website/blog. Meantime, check out some lovely pictures. Summer is here. Frappe time. here: http://instagram.com/mylittlebaklava

Happy 2013

All I can say is 2012 was a ridiculously busy year, and may 2013 bring everyone much health, joy, and good food, and even better wine.

Meantime, we're working on developing a new website. Stay tuned.  And also check-out my Facebook page.

New recipes from 'The Cooking Odyssey' Season 2

New recipes from the 2nd season of 'The Cooking Odyssey' on PBS are now available online.  Please check the website here. And for those with a sweet tooth, check out the baked quince recipe!

new Facebook page

We're back on this blog after some hibernating, and happy to announce my new Facebook page.  Please check it out here.

Had a great summer, having organized the International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC (www.aids2012.org).  More to come from my culinary excursions in Mykonos and Lefkada in August. And I hope you're all tuning into the 2nd season of 'The Cooking Odyssey'.

Cooking Odyssey Season 2, coming to PBS

Folks, it's been a busy January, February, and March.  But with great excitement, The Cooking Odyssey 2 begins soon. More to come, but here's a teaser from the opening.

duck, chestnuts, and Bordeaux wine

Wishing you all an incredibly merry Christmas and a happy 2012. My confit de canard recipe coming up this week. Import from France, coupled with a fine Bordeaux wine, and for dessert, diples straight from Athens. Chestnuts straight from my farmer's market in front of my place in Maroussi. Also more photos to come from my weekend trip back to Athens where I had an apéritif for friends and a big fat Greek family dinner.

Health and peace and joy to you and your loved ones.

fonduing my way around Switzerland

Bonjour mes amis. Back in the land of blogging. Have been working very hard, and have had some exciting travels on the weekends. Pics to come from the 10,000 weddings I attended this summer.

Here's a picture from a Swiss cheese fondue from last night. Good friends and good wine (Geneva Chasselas to be exact). Nothing better. This little place is located in Geneva's Junction. Typically, the fondue comes in a specialized pot. This one comes in a big bread bowl.
