American-Style Pancakes a la Ceyda

My bambina'm wanted to have a picnic breakfast this morning and offered to make something for us.

Looking through the cookbook her grandma gave her, she decided to make this scrummy American-Style pancake.

Ingredients: 140g self-raising flour  /  2 tbsp sugar  /  175ml milk  /  1 egg


Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.

Lightly whisk milk and egg together and pour in the well and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth and creamy batter.

For best results, leave the batter to rest for 30 mins.


In a pan heat some oil, pour in the batter with a ladel and cook for about 2 mins or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip over and cook for another 2 mins.


Serve with absolutely anything you desire. We served with chocolate sauce and cream.



This is the 2nd dish Ceyda has made from her cookbook.

Valentine's Day Cake

I wanted to make something light and fluffy for Valentine's to ensure that after eating it you wouldn't fall asleep on the couch with your beau. So I opted for a light vanilla cream filled heart shaped choux, topped with roasted almonds and dusted with icing sugar. Not so heavy is it :))

Eton Mess

This is English dessert consists of strawberries, meringue and cream.

Magarina Bulli

Today I'm having a nostalgia filled day, going back to my childhood with the lovely filling Cypriot food mum and nan used to make: the infamous Magarina Bulli

Boil the chicken until cooked through. Put the cooked chicken in a baking dish and lightly oil. Bake in oven until browned. With the chicken stock, bring to boil and add spaghetti / linguine and boil for about 10 mins.

To serve: put the pasta and some of the juices in a soup dish, topped with grated helloumi and a piece of your favorite chicken piece.
