Green colour, love and a cake with chocolate and Aegina’s pistachios

Green. The colour of optimism, of hope, of energy, of the unity of sky and earth. The colour of nature that goes wild and of the crystal clear light blue sea. The colour that I like to give to anything positive and pleasant. Sometimes, the colour of my eyes. Some of my t-shirts. The Aegina‘s [...]

I love tarts and pies. Sweet and savoury. With or without phyllo. In fact, any kind of phyllo, homemade or not, crust, dough, any base.
