Lemon season is in full swing here in Cyprus, and the tree in my garden is absolutely bursting! After gifting bags of fruit to everyone I know and fueling our lemonade fix, I wanted a way to bottle up that sunshine for the rest of the year. Preserving them in salt was the perfect answer. It’s so simple to do, yet the flavor is such a game-changer, you’ll honestly wonder how you ever lived without them in your pantry!

This year, I decided to bring a new seat to the table by creating a completely vegan version of this iconic Easter pastry, flaounes.

This festive season, I wanted to marry the rich traditions of the Greek Easter table with the timeless appeal of a Tiramisu. The result is the Tsuramisu, as my husband named it, a sophisticated layered dessert featuring tsoureki and a refined, airy cream made from tofu. It’s a lighter, plant-based interpretation of two beloved classics that proves tradition can always be reimagined.
