Pasticho, a Cypriot-style baked pasta dish that’s similar to the Italian pasticcio al forno. This one was made with topside mince. The cinnamon gives it a distinctive Cypriot flavour. Classic Kypreo comfort food! #cyprus #pasticho #comfortfood #pasta #pastabake #cinnamon #fromthevillage #arakapas

Sunday = baking day

Sunday = baking day! We’re a few weeks late, but since we were too busy at the shop on the weekend of Greek Easter to make flaounes, we decided to make them today. Never heard of a flaouna? It’s the traditional Cypriot cheese pastry made and eaten at Easter time. Ingredients include many types cheese, mint, mastic, egg, sesame and saffron. They’re extremely addictive! #george #yiota #flaouna #flaounes #baking #cyprus #easter #fromthevillage #arakapas

This is mother hen, Yiota

This is mother hen, Yiota. Always has a smile on her face (except when she’s frowning). Her culinary creativity amazes us every single day. She’s just as comfortable serving up a fancy dinner party meal as she is filling the bellies of a big, hungry family. Pop in and see her smile in person at the shop tomorrow! #motherhen #dulwichillgourmetmeats #fromthevillage #arakapas #marrickvilleroad
