One of the delicacies of my hometown, Thessaloniki, are these filo triangles filled with cream. You can mostly find them in Thessaloniki. Only some patisseries in the rest of Greece make them but they are not as good as the original ones. The difference is in the cream which has a very unique and smooth […]Read Post ›
I love challenges and when my work and everything else is under control I indulge myself in getting challenged in baking. I was in between making eclairs or baked Alaskas since they are considered two of the most difficult desserts. I asked a few friends for what they would prefer and most of them went […]Read Post ›

Cheesecake is the dessert I used to make a lot when I was younger. Giotis was the first Greek brand to offer boxes containing semi-made ingredients and recipes for cakes and cheesecakes.
