An exhibition of interesting products, innovative and delicious to taste, able to give new ideas to professionals and chefs who want to try unique creations. Additionally, looking for new products, we have dedicated time to our partners, with a view to the future and new strategies for 2020. Some of these companies were 3P with salads and dressings, Provil with sauces and spices, Grecian Living with gluten free products, PFS Papageorgiou with meat products such as skewers, rounds and various meats.

A weekend full of interest! Mr. Kazianis Themis visited Rotterdam, the Netherlands and a tour of the Farm Frites potato factory. On the arrival day, the program included a visit to our partner farm logistics company, Kloosterboer. A truly impressive experience from a family business leader with over 100 years of experience in logistics. The facilities: extremely imposing. The organization: scary robotic. The tour: really welcoming. The facilities, built  in one of the world's hottest ports that stores, manages and distributes millions of product pallets annualy mainly to Farm frites. These happened on the first day. On the second day of the trip, early in the morning, we found ourselves at the Farm frites facilities, in a rural area of ​​Rotterdam, full of farms where potatoes are produced..!!! The family-run business with over 50 years of existence, literally born out of early visionary farmers, captured the market and focused on potato management. The marketing department very hospitably analyzed the business, its goals, its purpose and vision. They spoke to us about the trends on the world stage, focused on new products, showed us the preferences of the consumer worldwide and we were guided to the 'Agricultural' department of the Farm. There, we learned about the varieties of potato, where the seeds were purchased, and who the farmers are cultivating, and finally what process is followed to plant the potato. Then, to absorb the information and better understand the product, we went to the fully organized Farm Kitchen with the chef ready to show us recipes, impressive and clever combinations and listen to every question we had. Finally, we took a long stroll down the production line, starting from the time the potato loads arrived, to the point where the final product was palletized. We saw how they are sorted by size and variety, how they are washed and then dried, how they are cut and packed and how many checks they go through, to ensure quality and safety in the finished product. A journey full of experience and knowledge. A trip that was really worth it. Here is photographic material.

In the period 24-28 / 01/2020 the salesmen of the company and the owner Mr. Kazianis Themis went to Athens to attend pastry and bakery seminars.

There were experienced technicians close to us this week, listening to our queries and our concerns, they were aware of the nessecities of Corfu market and the needs of our customers. We were informed about new recipes and new techniques, that we can present to our customers and cover their requirements, so that we are as high as possible in meeting their expectations. Of course, our company was, as always, together with AKTINA and ARTIZAN. It should be noticed with that we tasted everything, and understood every new taste. Also, we learned a lot of new and improved recipes with all their variations. Our goal: even better results for 2020 and of course, as we prove every year, for the last 30 years, we are working hard in expanding our knowledge and experience around HO.RE.CA. Here is photographic material.

Ingredients 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary 100 gr. higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon olive oil 1000 gr. quality minced beef 1000 gr. higher-welfare minced pork 4 carrots 2 onions 4 sticks of celery 2 heaped tablespoons tomato purée 1600 gr. plum tomatoes 350 gr. dried lasagne sheets White sauce 150 gr. mature Cheddar cheese 2 medium leeks 2 fresh bay leaves 4 tablespoons plain flour 1 litre semi-skimmed milk 1 whole nutmeg , for grating Method Strip and finely chop the rosemary leaves and finely chop the bacon. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large casserole pan on a high heat. Once hot, add the rosemary and bacon and fry for 2', or until the bacon starts to crisp up, stirring regularly. Add all the minced meat, using a wooden spoon to break it up as you go. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for at least 10', or until all the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Place the coarse grater attachment in your food processor and grate the Cheddar, then tip into a bowl. Replace the grater with the regular blade. Trim and halve the carrots, then add to the processor and blitz to roughly the same size as the mince. Peel and halve the onions, add them to the carrot and blitz again. Tip into the pan with the mince while you get on with blitzing and adding the celery. Cook for 15 - 20', or until the vegetables start to soften, stirring regularly. Next, add the tomato purée and plum tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Fill each of the tins with water and tip into the pan. Give everything a good stir and reduce the heat to low. Leave to simmer around 2 hours, or until thickened and reduced, stirring occasionally.

Once the ragù is ready, preheat the oven to 190 ºC. Season the ragù to taste, then transfer half into freezer bags, portioning up as appropriate for your family. Allow to cool to room temperature,then pop in the freezer for another day. A good idea is to freeze them flat so that you can reheat them quickly. To build your lasagne, spoon a quarter of the ragù into a large deep ovenproof dish, roughly 25x30 cm, and spread it out evenly. Spoon over a quarter of the white sauce, then snap over some lasagne sheets, making sure they completely cover the sauce in one layer. Repeat this 3 times, finishing with a layer of white sauce. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and bake the lasagne in the oven for 45' or until golden and bubbling. Remove the lasagne from the oven and leave to sit for 5 - 10' before serving.

Ingredients 400 gr. Maris Piper potoatoes 250 gr. cauliflower 125 gr. frozen peas 1 onion 2 cloves of garlic 5 cm piece of ginger 1 fresh green chilli 1 teaspoon cumin seeds ½ teaspoon fennel seeds 1 teaspoon garam masala 1 teaspoon ground coriander ½ a lemon 15 gr. fresh coriander Dough 550 gr. plain flour , plus extra for dusting ½ teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons ajwain seeds , optional groundnut oil or vegetable oil Method Dough Combine the flour, baking powder, a good pinch of sea salt and the ajwain seeds, if using, in a large bowl. Use your fingers to rub in 120ml of oil until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in 150ml of cold water, then bring it together with your hands into a rough dough, adding a splash more water, if needed. Place in a flour-dusted bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rest for 30'. Filling Peel and chop the potatoes into rough 2.5cm chunks, then break the cauliflower into florets so they’re roughly the same size. Add the potatoes to a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 10 to 12', or until tender, adding the cauliflower after 3'. Add the peas for the final minute, then drain. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, then peel and finely grate the ginger. Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Drizzle a lug of oil into a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the cumin and onion and cook for 8', or until softened but not coloured. Stir in the garlic, ginger and chilli, then fry for a further few minutes. Bash the fennel seeds to a fine powder and add to the pan along with the garam masala and ground coriander, stir well. Stir the cooked veg into the pan and crush gently with a potato masher, don't overdo it, you want a fairly chunky mixture. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season to taste. Leave to cool, then pick, finely chop and stir in the coriander leaves. Samosas Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Lightly grease a large baking tray with oil. On a flour-dusted surface, halve the dough and roll out each portion to about 3cm thick. Using a 7cm pastry cutter, stamp out as many circles as you can, then roll into rounds, roughly ½cm thick and 18cm in diameter. Cut each round in half, then brush the straight edges with a little water. Roll into a cone shape, bringing the straight edges together and pressing lightly to seal. Spoon in the filling, brush the exposed dough with a little water, then fold over and press to seal. Place onto the prepared baking tray, then repeat with the remaining ingredients, keeping the samosas covered with a damp tea towel as you go. Brush the samosas with a little oil and bake for 45', or until golden and piping hot through. Serve straightaway with mango chutney. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 4000 - 5000 gr./1 large goose, halved lengthways by your butcher 6 cm piece of ginger 6 large sticks of cinnamon 6 star anise 2 teaspoons whole cloves olive oil 2 oranges red wine vinegar Method Get your meat out of the fridge and up to room temperature before you cook it. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Peel and finely slice the ginger, then, keeping everything quite coarse, lightly crush it in a pestle and mortar with the cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Rub into the skin of the goose halves, then put both halves skin side up in your biggest deep-sided roasting tray and drizzle with a little oil. Roast for 3 hours, depending on the size of your goose, basting every hour. After the goose has been in for 2 hours, slice the oranges and carefully add to the tray. The goose is cooked when the leg meat falls easily off the bone. Now you’ve got two choices. Option 1 Leave it to rest, covered, for 30', then serve up while it’s hot and crispy-skinned, in which case simply remove the meat to a board, shred the leg meat and slice the breast. Pour all the fat into a jar, cool, and place in the fridge for tasty cooking another day, such roast potatoes. Stir a good swig of vinegar into the tray to pick up all the sticky goodness from the base, then drizzle over your meat. Serve with spuds, veg and all the usual trimmings. Option 2 Let everything cool in the tray, then place it in the fridge for up to 2 days, with the goose submerged and protected in its own fat, ready to reheat when you need it, getting you ahead of the game and saving you time and oven space another day. To reheat, put the whole tray back in a preheated oven at 180 °C and let the goose crisp up for around 30', or until hot through, then shred, slice and serve as above.

Ingredients 400 g durum wheat flour , or fine semolina flour, plus extra for dusting Method Pile the flour on to a clean surface and make a well in the middle. Gradually add 200 ml of warm water, using a fork to bring the flour in from the outside until it forms a dough. Knead on a flour-dusted surface, switching between fast and slow kneading, for 10', or until smooth and firm. Cut the dough into four so you can work with it a quarter at a time. Cover the rest with a clean damp tea towel while you work, to stop it drying out. Roll your first quarter into a long sausage shape about 1 cm in diameter, then cut it into 1 cm nuggets. Keep your surface well dusted with flour. Method 1 starting at the edge furthest away from you, drag a blunt eating knife towards you over a nugget of dough, so it curls round and over the knife. Gently pull the dough off the knife, push your thumb inside and turn it inside out. Repeat, and you’ll get it after a while. Method 2 Requires you to stick your thumb into the centre of a nugget, roll it into a ball first if you want to be more precise, rotate your thumb around to create a round disc, then pick the disc up and hold it between your thumb and forefinger, pulling it gently over your forefinger to make a similarly effective little ear. Transfer to a floured tray as you go. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Place a large saucepan on a medium to high heat and pour in half the stock, followed by all your risotto base. Stirring all the time, gently bring to the boil, turn the heat down and simmer until almost all the stock has been absorbed. Add the rest of the stock a ladleful at a time until the rice is cooked. You might not need all your stock. Be careful not to overcook the rice, check it throughout cooking to make sure it’s a pleasure to eat. It should hold its shape but be soft, creamy and oozy. And the overall texture should be slightly looser than you think you want it. Turn off the heat, beat in your butter and Parmesan, check the seasoning and add a little salt and pepper if needed. Don’t be too generous with the salt because the pangrattato has salt in it too and you don’t want to overdo it! Place a lid on the pan and leave the risotto to rest for a minute.

If making by hand, sieve the flour, icing sugar and a pinch of sea salt from a height into a large mixing bowl. Use your fingertips to gently work the cubes of butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Transfer a handful of this mixture to a separate bowl, rub it between your fingers to get larger crumbs, then put aside. Add the eggs and milk to the main mixture and gently work it together until you have a ball of pastry dough. Don’t work it too much at this stage, you want to keep it crumbly and short. Sprinkle a little flour over the pastry, then wrap it in cling film and pop it into the fridge to rest for 1 hour. Meanwhile Put the apples into a large pan with the zest and juice of 1 orange, a splash of water and 5 tablespoons of caster sugar. Cover the pan and simmer on a medium heat for 10 minutes, until the apples have softened but still hold their shape. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Scrunch a handful of berries in a bowl with the remaining caster sugar and the zest and juice of your remaining orange. Add the rest of the berries. Toss the cooled apples and their juices in a large bowl with the berries and the flour, then put aside. Preheat your oven to 180 ºC. Take your ball of pastry out of the fridge and let it come up to room temperature. Get yourself a pie dish around 28 cm in diameter. Flour a clean surface and a rolling pin. Cut off a third of your pastry and put that piece to one side. Roll the rest into a circle just over 0.5cm thick, dusting with flour as you go. Roll the circle of pastry up over your rolling pin, then gently unroll it over the pie dish. Push it into the sides, letting any excess pastry hang over the edge. Tip in the fruit filling and brush all around the edge of the pastry with some of the beaten egg. Roll out the smaller ball of pastry about 0.5cm thick and use your rolling pin to lay it over the top of the pie. Brush it all over with more beaten egg, reserving a little. Sprinkle over the reserved crumble mixture and the demerara sugar. Fold the scruffy edges of pastry hanging over the sides back over the pie, sealing the edge by twisting or crimping it as you like. Brush these folded edges with your remaining beaten egg. Using a small, sharp knife, cut a cross into the middle of the pie. Place on the bottom of the oven and bake for 45 - 55', until golden and beautiful. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 200 gr. fresh berries juice of ½ a lemon Optional edible flowers Sponge 3 large free-range eggs 100 gr. golden caster sugar , plus extra for sprinkling 75 g plain flour a few knobs of butter , for greasing 1 heaped teaspoon cocoa powder Filling 1 lt of good-quality ice cream, vanilla and chocolate 300 gr. good-quality strawberry or raspberry jam 1 Crunchie or Dime bar or a bag of Maltesers , bashed up Method Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Move the ice cream to the fridge so it starts to soften. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the sugar, and whisk until pale, fluffy and at least doubled in size. Once it’s looking good, sift in the flour and slowly fold it through with a spatula. Grease a baking tray with butter, then line it with greaseproof paper and grease that too. Spoon half your sponge batter on to the tray, then sift the cocoa powder into the remaining batter and fold it in. Spoon the chocolatey sponge into the gaps on the tray, and use the spoon to drag it through the white sponge in S-shapes and circles until it looks beautiful and marbled, make sure there are no gaps. Place the tray on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 12 - 15', or until cooked through. Grease another large sheet of greaseproof paper with butter and sprinkle over a few good pinches of sugar. Take the sponge out of the oven and confidently flip it over on to the paper. Peel and discard the top piece of paper, then, while the sponge is still warm and flexible, loosely roll it up into a long sausage, including the paper, and leave it to cool for around 20'. Once cooled Gently unroll the sponge and spread over half of the jam. Take big dessert spoons of your soft ice cream and randomly distribute them over the sponge, leaving the last 5 or 6 cm at one end free of filling so that it creates a seal when you roll it up. Dollop over teaspoons of the remaining jam, then sprinkle your bashed-up chocolate bar all over. Use a spatula to smear everything into a fairly smooth dense layer. Confidently, start rolling the sponge up again, making sure there's no paper inside it. If the filling starts to slip out, just push it back in. Twisting the ends and squeezing it into a long, fairly even ice-cream sausage. Pop it into the freezer for 3 hours, and take it out around 5 - 10' before you want to use it so it thaws enough to slice. Unwrap your arctic roll, take a slice out of each end to expose the frozen insides. Serve with fresh summer fruits tossed in lemon juice and a pinch of sugar, or any edible flowers if you have them.

Ingredients 100 gr. caster sugar 75 gr. plain flour 75 gr. ground almonds Cocoa powder , for dusting 50 ml Armagnac Zest of 1 orange 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp mixed spice 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg A pinch of ground cloves 130 gr. semi-dried prunes 250 gr. 70% cocoa dark chocolate 200 gr. salted butter 5 free-range eggs , seperated Method You can do this step well in advance, otherwise, make it the night before. Place the Armagnac in a pan with the zest and spices and bring to the boil. Pop the prunes in a bowl, pour over the spiced Armagnac, cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge. When ready to make the cake, line a 20cm cake tin and preheat your oven to 180 °C. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally, until melted, then take off the heat. In a spotlessly clean bowl, whip the egg whites with 1 tablespoon of the sugar until it forms hard peaks. Place the yolks and remaining sugar in another bowl and whisk for about 5', until you can draw a figure of 8 in it and it retains its shape. Pour the chocolate into the whisked yolks and stir to incorporate. Roughly purée the prunes in a food processor, then fold them into the mixture. Combine the flour and ground almonds in a bowl then fold into the chocolate mixture. Carefully fold in the egg whites, in three stages, so you don’t lose any of the air you have whisked into it. Once everything is mixed in, pour the mixture into the tin and bake for about 60', until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool slightly before turning out onto a plate and dusting with cocoa powder. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Gruyère cheese 70 gr. Parmesan cheese Method Place the live lobster in the freezer for 30' so it’s docile. Fill your largest deep pan with water, season with sea salt and bring to a rolling boil. Swiftly plunge the lobster head first into the water, place the lid on and cook for 8', or slightly less if you’re using 2 small ones. Remove and leave to cool. Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Get yourself a large ovenproof casserole pan that you want to serve up in. Put the butter into the pan on a medium heat, add the onions, garlic, saffron, cayenne and anchovies and cook for 10'. Turn the heat up to high, add the wine and cook it away, then reduce the heat back to medium and stir in the flour, followed by the milk and mustard. Mix well and simmer for 10' while you prepare the lobster. Twist the lobster head and body apart, importantly, shake out all the tasty juice and bits from the head into the sauce. Squeeze the tail shell in until you hear it crack, then rip it open the other way to expose all that lovely tail meat. Rip the claws off the body, then use a rolling pin on a board to crack them open and poke out any meat you can find. Roughly chop all the meat, reserving the tail, shell and head. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for our helpful video on how to prepare your lobster. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions and reserve a little cooking water. Remove the sauce from the heat, stir in the pasta, the lobster meat and grate in the Cheddar and Gruyère. Mix well, taste and correct the seasoning, you don’t want the sauce to be super-thick now, so loosen it with a little cooking water if needed. Finely grate over the Parmesan. For a bit of fun, pop the lobster head and tail into the pan at either end. Cook in the oven for about 35', or until golden, bubbling and delicious. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients Pastry 150 gr. plain flour 40 gr. cocoa 25 gr. icing sugar 120 gr. unsalted butter 1 large free-range egg yolk Filling 300 gr. caster sugar 60 ml runny honey 300 ml double cream 45 gr. unsalted butter Nut brittle 50 gr. blanched hazelnuts 100 gr. caster sugar Spun sugar 100 gr. caster sugar 1/2 tablespoon glucose syrup Method Pastry Sift the flour, cocoa and icing sugar into a bowl. Rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs and stir in a pinch of sea salt. Stir in the egg yolk and 45 ml water, then bring together into a dough, add more flour if necessary. Wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for 30'. Preheat the oven to 190 ºC. Line a 25 cm fluted tart tin with the pastry, pressing into the sides. Line with baking paper and fill with baking beads or rice. Set on a baking sheet and rest in the fridge for 30'. Transfer the tin to the oven on the baking sheet for 15'. Roast the nuts for the brittle at the same time, until they are a golden brown. Remove the baking paper and beads or rice. Return the pastry to the oven for 5', or until the base has cooked through. Filling Place the sugar and honey into a pan and set over a medium heat. Once the sugar begins to melt, swirl in circular motions to start the caramel until it’s golden. Remove from the heat, whisk in the cream and butter. Place back onto the heat and whisk until the caramel turns golden brown. Remove and pour into the tart case, then set aside. Nut brittle Line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the sugar in a pan with the thermometer and set over a medium heat. Have your roasted hazelnuts ready. When the sugar starts to gently bubble at the edges, tilt the pan to ensure the sugar melts evenly. Before long, about 3', all of it will be melted. When it gets to 150 ºC, remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the hazelnuts, do not stir with a spoon. Quickly pour it onto the tray and leave to aside. When the nut brittle is cool, chop or blitz in a processor to small pieces. Sprinkle the pieces of brittle over the top of the finished tart. To decorate with spun sugar, heat the sugar and glucose with 50ml water in the same pan, over a medium heat. Allow the sugar to melt, stir for even texture. Heat for 8 - 10', until 150 ºC, then remove and quickly place into an ice bath to stop the process and set aside. Take two forks and pull the sugar out, twirling the forks to make long strands into nests. Alternatively, place a piece of baking paper on your countertop. While holding a long metal spoon with one hand over the paper, pull the sugar from the pan and quickly flick it back and forth over the long spoon, allowing the sugar to form long thin strands, which you can gather. Use these to decorate the top of the tart. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Once cooked, remove the chicken to a plate, cover with tin foil and a clean tea towel, then leave to rest. Place the small birds directly on the oven shelf next to the duck. Place the sausage wheel on top of the roasting vegetables, then cook along with the birds for 30', or until the birds are tender and cooked through. Gremolata Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves, peel and finely chop the garlic, then place into a bowl with the reserved fennel fronds. Finely grate over the lemon zest and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Once cooked, remove the birds from the oven and leave to rest. Move the roasting tray to the top of the oven and cook for a further 15'. Polenta Bring 1.1 litres of water to the boil in a large pan. Once boiling, gradually add the polenta, whisking continuously until combined. Continue to stir over the heat for 15 - 20', or until oozy, thickened and smooth. Place the cooked veggies on a plate, then skim away and discard the fat from the tray. Pop the tray on a medium heat on the hob, stir in the flour for 1 minute, then pour in the chianti. Scrape up all that lovely goodness from the bottom of the tray, then add the plum tomatoes, any resting juices from the chicken and the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5', or until thickened and reduced to a lovely gravy. Stir the butter into the polenta and finely grate in the Parmesan, adding a little water to loosen, if needed. Carve up the birds and slice the sausage, squeeze the onions and garlic out of their skins, then serve it all up on a board with the polenta. Scatter the gremolata on top and serve the gravy and some steamed greens on the side. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients Dough 1000 gr. type 00 flour, plus extra for dusting 7 gr. sachet of dried yeast or 5 gr. fresh yeast 1 tablespoon caster sugar Homemade nutella filling 350 gr. hazelnuts 100 gr. golden caster sugar 450 gr. quality dark chocolate 70% 225 ml double cream 150 gr. unsalted butter, at room temperature Method Dough Preheat the oven to 200 ºC. To make the dough, sieve the flour and 1 big pinch of fine sea salt onto a clean work surface, then make a well in the middle. Combine the yeast, sugar and 650 ml of tepid water in a jug, leave for a few minutes until it starts to froth, then pour into the well. Using a fork, gradually bring the flour in from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing and incorporating the flour until it comes together into a rough dough. With clean, flour-dusted hands, work the rest of the flour into the dough, then knead until it forms a smooth, springy and slightly wet dough. Place into a large flour-dusted bowl, dust with a little more flour, then cover the bowl with a damp cloth. Leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Filling Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking tray, then place in the oven for 10', or until golden. Leave to cool completely. Reserving a small handful of the toasted nuts, place the rest into a food processor with the sugar, then blitz to a fairly smooth paste. Snap the chocolate into a medium heatproof bowl, and rest over a pan of simmering water on a medium heat, stir until melted. Add the cream and 100 gr. of butter, then stir until smooth and combined. Fold in 1 big pinch of sea salt and the hazelnut paste. Knock back the risen dough, then divide into 14 portions. On a flour-dusted surface, roll each portion out into rough 16 cm rounds. Spoon 1 heaped tablespoon of the chocolate mixture onto one side of each pastry round, then fold the pastry over the filling into a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal, they should look like Cornish pasties. Melt a small knob of the remaining butter in a large frying pan on a medium-low heat, then add as many calzones as will fit, being careful not to break or pierce them. Cook for 8 - 10', or until golden and crisp, turning halfway. Roughly chop or bash the reserved toasted nuts. Slice the calzones into wedges or halves, if you like, then serve straightaway with a few toasted hazelnuts scattered on top. If you have any leftover chocolate, melt it and drizzle on top.

Ingredients 250 gr. plain flour , plus 1 tablespoon 1 teaspoon baking powder 125 gr. granulated sugar 125 gr. lard 8 large free-range eggs 375 ml milk 1 lemon 75 gr. caster sugar 25 gr. cornflour 1 knob of butter , for greasing 10 teaspoon gianduja Method Pastry Place the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, 1 pinch of fine sea salt and the lard in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, and mix on a low speed until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. Separate 7 of the eggs and add 1 of the egg yolks to the mixer and mix until just combined. Repeat with 2 more egg yolks. As soon as it forms a ball, cut it in half and flatten into two discs. If the pastry doesn’t come together, add a dash of milk. Wrap both in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour while you make the cream filling. Pour the milk into a heavy-bottom pan and place over a low heat. Add a few thick strips of lemon rind and leave to infuse while you prepare the other ingredients, removing the pan from the heat just before the milk starts to boil. Meanwhile whisk the remaining 4 egg yolks in a large bowl with the caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the cornflour and the extra tablespoon of flour until smooth. As the milk reaches just before the boil, slowly pour it over the eggs, whisking continuously so the eggs don’t scramble, to make a custard. Once it’s smooth, pour it back into the pan and warm over a medium heat to thicken, whisking all the time, don’t let it boil. Once it has thickened, strain it into a bowl, discarding the lemon rind, and place a layer of clingfilm directly on the top of the custard, to stop it forming a skin. Leave it to cool, then place in the fridge until cold. Preheat the oven to 190 ºC. Grease 10 oval pastry moulds or a 10-hole muffin tray. Take one of the pastry discs out of the fridge and roll it out until it’s slightly thicker than a 1€ coin. Drape the pastry over the moulds or the tray and gently push the pastry into the moulds. Roll the rolling pin over the top to cut away the excess and remove it. You could also cut 8,5 cm-diameter circles with a cutter, or using a jam jar as a guide. Scoop 1 teaspoon of gianduja into the bottom of each pastry case. Place the custard into a piping bag and pipe enough into each mould so it sits just below the edge of the pastry. Take the remaining pastry disc out of the fridge, roll it out so it’s a little thinner than the one before, and drape it over the moulds. Using your hands, gently press the top layer of pastry into the edges of the pastry base to seal the two together. Beat the remaining egg, then brush the top and bake for 15 - 20', or until golden on top. Leave to cool in the tins for 10' and serve. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/  

Ingredients 2 cloves of garlic 2 onions 400 gr. chestnut mushrooms 15 gr. fresh flat-leaf parsley olive oil 1 heaped tablespoon plain flour 200 ml double cream 750 ml organic chicken stock 1 lemon 1 whole nutmeg , for grating 500 gr. free-range cooked chicken 200 gr. long grain rice 1 bunch of fresh dill 4 hard-boiled eggs Cream cheese pastry 125 gr. unsalted butter at room temperature 125 gr. cream cheese 2 large free-range eggs 200 gr. plain flour 2 teaspoons baking powder Method Pastry Beat the butter and cream cheese in a mixer with the paddle attachment. Separate one of the eggs, then add the yolk to the mixer and mix until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder with 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Add it to the butter mix in a few stages, keeping it on a low speed until you have a smooth dough. Wrap it in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for about 30' while you make the filling. Peel and finely slice the garlic, onions and mushrooms. Pick and finely chop the parsley. Put a lug of oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic and onions for 5', or until they start to colour. Add the mushrooms and fry for another 5'. Stir in the flour, then pour in the cream and 250 ml of the chicken stock, and gently bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Stir in the chopped parsley, half the lemon juice and a good grating of nutmeg, season well, then shred and add the chicken. Pop the rice in a pan with the rest of the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Then cover with a lid, reduce it to a simmer and cook for around 15', or until the rice has absorbed all the stock. Remove from the heat and fluff a little with a fork. Pick and finely chop the dill. Peel the hard-boiled eggs, chop them very finely, then mix them in a bowl with the dill. Assembly In the bottom of a 24 cm pie dish, spread out a third of the rice, so it’s evenly covered. Layer on half of the chicken mixture, and top with half the egg mix. Repeat the process, finishing with the remaining rice. Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin, so it will generously cover the pie. Place it on top and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a little cross into the top, making sure there’s a hole for steam to escape. Use any leftover pastry to make decorations for the top. Beat the remaining egg together, then brush over the top and pop it in the oven for 25 - 30', or until the pastry is golden and the filling heated through.

Ingredients 2 red onions 2 cloves of garlic 1 bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley olive oil 850 gr. lamb neck fillet , cut into 2 - 3 cm pieces 2½ teaspoons ground cumin 1½ heaped teaspoons ground coriander 1 organic lamb or beef stock cube 500 gr. white basmati rice 25 gr. unsalted butter 1 large free-range egg 250 ml natural yoghurt , plus extra to serve 1 lemon 1 handful of pomegranate seeds Method Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic, then pick and finely chop the parsley. Heat 1 splash of oil in a pan over a medium heat, then add the onions and sauté for 10', or until soft and sticky. Add the lamb and cook for 5 - 8', or until lightly browned, stirring in the cumin, coriander and garlic for the last 2'. Put the stock cube into the pan along with enough boiling water to just cover the meat. Bring to the boil, season and reduce to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 90', or until the meat is tender. Now remove the lid and boil away most of the cooking liquid, until you have a thick gravy, then stir in half of the parsley (saving the rest to serve) and season. Rice. Place a large pan of salted water over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Wash the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, then add it to the pan. Simmer for 6 - 7', until it’s almost cooked but the grains still have some bite. Drain in a colander and cool under cold running water. Allow the rice to drain completely. In a bowl, mix together the yoghurt, egg and lemon juice and season well. Set aside a quarter of the yoghurt mixture, then stir the rest of it into half of the cooked rice. Preheat the oven to 190 ºC. In a large, heavy-based iron pot or casserole dish, melt the butter over a medium heat, brushing some up the sides of the pan. Pack the yoghurty rice into the base of the pan in one layer, then spread the lamb on top in another even layer. Mix the remaining rice with the leftover yoghurt mix, then use it to top the lamb. Cover with the lid or a layer of well-sealed foil. Bake in the oven for 60', then remove the lid and bake for a further 45 -60', or until you can see a dark golden crust all around the edge of the rice. When your dish is cooked, lower the pot into a sink of cold water for 1', being careful the water doesn’t get in, then run a knife around the inside. Working quickly, place a large platter or board on top of the pot and invert it, so the tah chin comes out. Don’t worry if it isn’t completely rigid, the bottom layer of rice will be softer, but you should have a crunchy golden crust on top. Serve your tah chin topped with the rest of the chopped parsley, pomegranate seeds, and some extra yoghurt on the side, if you like. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 1 x basic bread recipe 6 bananas 8 tablespoons runny honey 1 handful almonds , cracked or chopped Method First of all, peel your bananas then purée them in a liquidizer or food processor. The mix will be surprisingly wet. Pour it into a measuring jug, then top up with water until you have 625 ml or just over 1 pint. At Stage 1 of the basic bread recipe, use this banana liquid instead of the water to flavour your bread and make it nice and chewy. Also add half the honey with the nuts to the dough at this point. Then continue through the basic recipe as normal. At Stage 5 divide the dough into 10 balls. Then pack these next to each other in a flour-dusted baking tin where they will prove together. Before putting in the oven drizzle generously with the rest of the honey so that the top of the bread will caramelize, going nice and golden. Bake in your preheated oven at 190 ºC for 20'. Allow to cool for a little while, but it's best served still warm with butter and a glass of milk for breakfast while you read the paper. Also fantastic used in bread and butter pudding or simply heated up with a bit of ice cream. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 1000 gr. strong bread flour 625 ml tepid water 21 gr. dried yeast or 30 gr. fresh yeast 2 tablespoons sugar 1 level tablespoon fine sea salt flour , for dusting Method Stage 1: Making a well Pile the flour on to a clean surface and make a large well in the centre. Pour half your water into the well, then add your yeast, sugar and salt and stir with a fork. Stage 2: Getting it together Slowly, but confidently, bring in the flour from the inside of the well. Continue to bring the flour in to the centre until you get a stodgy, porridgey consistency, then add the remaining water. Continue to mix until it's stodgy again, then you can be more aggressive, bringing in all the flour, making the mix less sticky. Flour your hands and pat and push the dough together with all the remaining flour. Stage 3: Kneading! This is where you get stuck in. With a bit of elbow grease, simply push, fold, slap and roll the dough around, over and over, for 4 - 5' until you have a silky and elastic dough. Stage 4: First prove Flour the top of your dough. Put it in a bowl, cover with cling film, and allow it to prove for about 30' until doubled in size, ideally in a warm, moist, draught-free place. This will improve the flavour and texture of your dough and it's always exciting to know that the old yeast has kicked into action. Stage 5: Second prove, flavouring and shaping Once the dough has doubled in size, knock the air out for 30" by bashing it and squashing it. You can now shape it or flavour it as required, and leave it to prove for a second time for 30 - 60'  until it has doubled in size once more. This is the most important part, as the second prove will give it the air that finally ends up being cooked into your bread, giving you the really light, soft texture that we all love in fresh bread. Stage 6: Cooking your bread Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Very gently place your bread dough on to a flour-dusted baking tray and into the preheated oven. Don't slam the door or you'll lose the air that you need. Bake for 25 - 30' or until cooked and golden brown. You can tell if it's cooked by tapping its bottom, if it sounds hollow it's done, if it doesn't then pop it back in for a little longer. Once cooked, place on a rack and allow it to cool for at least 30'.

Ingredients 3 large free-range eggs 115 gr. plain flour 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder 140 ml milk 1 pinch salt 2 knobs butter 3 tablespoons caster sugar 4 bananas crème fraîche , to serve Method Separate the eggs, putting the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another. Combine the plain flour, baking powder and milk with the egg yolks and mix until it forms a smooth, thick batter. Whisk the whites with the salt until they form stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the batter, it is now ready to use. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a moderate heat. Pour some of your batter into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to look golden and firm. Loosen with a spatula and turn or flip the pancake over. Continue frying until golden. Melt the butter and sugar in a separate pan over a low heat until they form a caramel sauce, about 3'. Peel and cut the bananas lengthways, add them to the pan and cook gently until they are golden, turning after a few minutes. You might need to alter the cooking time slightly, depending on how ripe your bananas are. Serve them on the pancakes topped with a good spoonful of crème fraîche.

Ingredients 400 ml milk 1 tablespoon dried yeast 1 teaspoon caster sugar 300 gr. strong white flour ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda vegetable oil , for greasing Homemade butter 350 ml double cream Method Gently warm the milk. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk and 100 ml of tepid water. Leave in a warm place for 15', or until frothy. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture. Whisk from the centre outwards until the consistency of double cream, this will take a few minutes. Add a splash more water, if needed. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for 45' or until little bubbles form on the surface. For the butter, pour the cream into a freestanding mixer. Whisk on high for 5 - 10', or until the cream splits into solids and liquid. Drain through a sieve, discard the liquid, then rinse the solids thoroughly with cold water. Place in muslin and squeeze out any excess liquid. Mix ½ a teaspoon of sea salt through and wrap in greaseproof paper. Grease four 10cm egg rings with vegetable oil. Wipe a little oil around a large frying pan or iron skillet and place over a medium-high heat. Arrange the rings in the frying pan and, once hot, spoon 4 tablespoons of the batter into each ring. Cook for 5', or until little bubbles appear on the surface. Once the bubbles have burst, leaving little holes, use tongs to carefully lift off the rings and flip over the crumpets, then cook for 1' on the other side. Re-grease and reheat the rings and pan before cooking the next batch. Serve the crumpets warm, with a slather of butter. If making them in advance, just toast lightly on both sides when you come to serve them. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 100 gr. Medjool dates 100  gr. wholemeal self-raising flour 100g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting 30g ground almonds 1 large free-range egg olive oil 320g blueberries 1 tablespoon runny honey 4 tablespoons Greek yoghurt ground cinnamon , optional Method Tear the stones out of the dates and place the flesh in a food processor with the flours, ground almonds, egg, a tiny pinch of sea salt and 70 ml of water. Blitz until combined and forming a ball of dough, then roughly knead on a clean flour-dusted surface for just 2'. Roll out the dough 1.5cm thick, then use an 8cm cutter to cut out two rounds. Use a 3cm cutter to cut a hole in the centre of each one, then use those centre bits and the remaining cut-offs of dough to roll it out again, repeating the process until you have four doughnuts in total. Simmer the doughnuts in a large pan of gently boiling water for 5', very carefully turning them over halfway through. Place a large frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Drain the doughnuts well, then carefully transfer them to the frying pan to get golden for 10 minutes, turning regularly to build up a nice crust. Once looking good, add the blueberries to the pan, then drizzle over the honey. Jiggle and shake the pan over the heat for a couple of minutes, using a spoon to keep turning the doughnuts in all that lovely jammy blueberry juice. When it looks nice and shiny and the doughnuts are purple, ripple the yoghurt through the pan and divide between your plates. Nice with a sprinkling of cinnamon, to finish.

Ingredients 220 gr. unsalted butter, at room temperature , plus extra for greasing 300 gr. golden marzipan 100 ml single cream 225 gr. sugar 10 large free-range eggs ½ tablespoon vanilla extract 1 orange 150 gr. self-raising flour 100 gr. cornflour 300 gr. thin-cut marmalade 200 gr. dark chocolate 70% 50 ml spiced rum 25 gr. toasted flaked almonds Method Preheat the grill to medium-high, and grease and line the base of a 23 cm springform cake tin. Roughly chop and place the marzipan and a little of the cream in the bowl of a standing mixer and beat using the paddle attachment until you have a thick paste. Gradually add the rest of the cream and continue to beat until you have a pale paste. Add 170 grams of the butter and beat until completely incorporated. Next add the sugar and beat again until the mixture is pale and creamy. Finally, separate and beat in the egg yolks one at a time, save the whites, then the vanilla extract. Finely grate in the orange zest. Sift the self-raising flour and cornflour into a bowl, mix together, then, using a large metal spoon, gradually fold into the cake batter. Whisk the egg whites to firm peaks, then fold into the batter with the large metal spoon, being careful not to knock out too much of the air. Spoon the marmalade into a small pan and melt over a low heat, add a splash of water if needed to loosen, and keep warm. Assembly Using a ladle as your measure, spoon just enough batter into the cake tin to cover the base, you’ll probably need to fill the ladle to about two-thirds. Use a pastry brush to spread the mixture evenly over the base of the tin, so it just covers the surface, then cook under the grill for 4', or until set and golden all over. Ladle another thin layer of batter on top, and return to the grill. Once golden, brush a thin layer of the softened marmalade over the cake, you want just enough for a thin glaze. Continue layering and grilling, glazing with marmalade every second or third layer, until the batter is used up, you should get 15 to 18 layers. Brush the top of the cake with a good layer of marmalade, then run a knife around the outside of the cake. Leave to cool, then cover with clingfilm and chill for a few hours, or overnight, to set. A couple of hours before you’re ready to serve, break the chocolate into pieces and melt with the remaining 50 grams butter in a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of simmering water. Once completely melted and glossy, stir through the rum, then set it aside for 10' to cool. Remove the cake from the tin and set it on a serving plate. Pour on the chocolate sauce and use a spatula to spread it evenly over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides. Leave it to set slightly, then garnish with the toasted flaked almonds, before leaving it to cool completely. Serve with a big mug of tea or a festive sherry. This cake keeps really well in a tin for up to 2 days. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Grease a 30 cm pie dish with butter. Roll out the dough to a 40 cm circle, then place into the pie dish, firming it in place. Prick all over with a fork, cover with greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans and pop in the oven to blind bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until cooked. Crack the remaining eggs into a bowl with the vanilla, cornflour, milk and yoghurt. Add 200 grams of the caster sugar, 1 tablespoon of the remaining flour and 1 pinch of sea salt. Whisk until combined and leave to one side. Drain and arrange the peaches in the bottom of the baked pastry case, then pour over the custard. Return to the oven and bake for about 40', or until the custard is set to the touch but still has a slight wobble. Cover the pastry edge with foil if it colours too quickly. Make the crumble topping. In a bowl, rub the remaining 25 grams of butter and 90 grams of flour with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the remaining 75 grams of sugar. Sprinkle over the pie and return to the oven for a further 15', or until golden. Leave to cool completely before dusting with icing sugar and serving. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 200 gr. plain flour, plus extra for dusting 50 gr. caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling over 125 gr. unsalted butter Chocolate orange & caraway 1 orange zest of 30 gr. good-quality dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids 1 teaspoon caraway seeds Lavender & honey 2 tablespoons lavender honey 20 gr. lavender sugar, use only 25 gr. caster sugar in the main ingredients when making this version Lemon thyme & vanilla ½ a small bunch of fresh lemon thyme , leaves picked 1 lemon zest of 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste Method I know you can buy shortbreads everywhere these days, but great as some of those biscuits can be, nothing comes close to a batch cooked that day, or even that week. The simplicity of these biscuits makes them a wonderful base for desserts with cream and fruit, or a crumbly topping for trifles and stewed fruits. But for me the very best way to celebrate this humble biscuit is with a cup of tea. You can have these biscuits plain, or scent them with everything from lemon or tangerine, to lavender, lemon thyme or caraway seeds. Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Mix the flour and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter with your thumb and forefinger, then add your chosen flavourings and squash, pat and push it into a dough. Don’t knead it, you just want to pat it down flat. Push or roll it out until it’s 1 cm thick, do this directly on to a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper so you don’t have to move it. Once it’s in the shape you like, which could be square, round, or a few small finger-shapes, feel free to thumb or pinch the edges. If it splits or tears, just press it back together, but remember, the less you work the dough, the shorter and better these biscuits will be. If you want to score lines on the shortbread so that you can click the biscuits off into pieces later, you can. Sprinkle over some caster sugar, then pop the baking sheet into the oven and cook for 20 - 30'. Keep an eye on it, you want a lovely light golden colour. Leave to cool, then put away in a tin or serve. These will be delicious for two or three days and make a lovely present for someone special. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients olive oil plain flour , for dusting 300 gr. good-quality dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids 250 gr. raw beetroot 4 large free-range eggs 150 gr. golden caster sugar 120 gr. ground almonds 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon good-quality cocoa powder natural yoghurt , to serve Method Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 20 cmspringform cake tin with olive oil. Use scissors to cut out a circle of greaseproof paper, roughly the same size as the bottom of the tin, and use it to line the base. Dust the sides of the tin lightly with flour, then tap the tin to get rid of any excess. Break 200 grams of the chocolate into small pieces and add to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl on top of a small pan of simmering water over a medium heat, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water, and allow to melt, stirring occasionally. Once melted, use oven gloves to carefully remove from the heat and put to one side. Use a Y-shaped peeler to peel the beetroot, then quarter them on a chopping board. Push the beetroot through the coarse grater attachment on the food processor, then tip into a large mixing bowl. Separate the eggs, placing the whites into a large clean mixing bowl and adding the yolks to the beetroot, then wash your hands. Stir the sugar, almonds, baking powder, cocoa powder and melted chocolate into the beetroot and mix together well. Use an electric hand whisk to whisk the egg whites until you have stiff peaks. Use a spatula to fold a quarter of the egg whites into the beetroot mixture to loosen, then once combined, fold in the rest but try not to over-mix. Add the mixture to the prepared cake tin and spread out evenly using a spatula. Bake in the hot oven for around 50', or until risen and cooked through. Allow the cake to cool slightly, then carefully turn it out on to a wire rack to cool completely. When you’re ready to serve, melt the remaining chocolate (in the same way as above), then serve each slice with some yoghurt and a little drizzle of the melted chocolate.

Ingredients 1 ripe avocado 3 limes 15 gr. fresh coriander 3 tablespoons fat-free natural yoghurt olive oil 1 small onion 1 carrot ½ white or green cabbage 1 fresh red chilli 8 large free-range eggs 60 gr. Cheddar cheese Method Squeeze the avocado flesh into a blender, discarding the stone and skin. Squeeze in all the juice from 2 limes, rip in the coriander stalks, add the yoghurt, a splash of oil and whiz until smooth, then season to perfection. Peel the onion and carrot. Ideally in a food processor, or using a box grater and good knife skills, grate the onion and carrot, then finely slice the cabbage. Very finely slice the chilli by hand, then tip everything into a large bowl. Add most of the coriander leaves, then pour over the avocado dressing and toss together well. Taste and season to perfection again, if needed. Whisk all the eggs together in a bowl, with a splash of water to loosen and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-low heat. Once fairly hot, put in a tiny drizzle of oil followed by a quarter of the egg mixture. Swirl it all around the pan, grate over a quarter of the cheese and let it melt, then cook the omelette gently without colouring it, so it’s soft, silky and smooth, for just under 2', only cooking on one side. Slide it on to a plate, spoon over a quarter of the avocado slaw, then gently fold up the sides and roll over. Serve with a wedge of lime and a few extra coriander leaves. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, serving them up as you go. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 320 gr. dried penne 1 onion 1 large courgette 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary 130 gr. smoked boneless mackerel fillets , from sustainable sources olive oil 2 large free-range eggs 100 ml semi-skimmed milk 40 gr. Parmesan cheese 1 lemon , optional Method Cook the penne in a pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the onion, then cut the courgette into quarters lengthways and cut out the fluffy core. Slice the courgette at an angle, roughly 1 cm thick, you want the pieces to be about the same size and shape as the penne. Pick and chop the rosemary leaves, then slice the mackerel 1 cm thick, removing the skin, if you like. Put the onions and courgettes into a large frying pan on a medium heat with a lug of oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, stirring occasionally. After 5', add the rosemary and mackerel and cook for a further 5', or until nice and golden, tossing occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and milk together, then finely grate in the Parmesan. Reserving a cupful of cooking water, drain the pasta and toss it into the mackerel pan. Take the pan off the heat for a few seconds and stir in a good splash of the reserved water to cool it down. This is really important, because if you add your eggs when the pan’s still screaming hot, the heat will simply scramble them. Quickly pour in the egg mixture and shake and stir together until thickened, silky and evenly coated, then plate up and serve with an extra grating of Parmesan, a good pinch of pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, if you like.

Place in an ovenproof dish and roast for around 2 hours, or until tender. Meanwhile, cook the pearl barley at the appropriate time according to packet instructions. Peel and finely slice the onion and remaining garlic, place in a large frying pan on a low heat with a lug of olive oil, and fry for around 10', or until softened, stirring occasionally. Finely slice the mushrooms and add. Cook for around 20', or until golden, continuing to stir occasionally. Crumble in the stock cube, add the remaining bay leaf and pour in 200 ml of boiling water. Simmer and reduce until the liquid has nearly gone, then stir in the cream and mustard and simmer for a further 5'. Season to perfection and keep warm until needed, being careful not to let it get too thick. Around 10' before the celeriac is ready, carefully open up the foil and start basting every couple of minutes with the melted butter for extra colour. Drain the pearl barley and dress it with salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Place the celeriac on a board and carve thinly, like you would a joint of meat. Drizzle with any juices from the foil, then serve with the mushroom sauce, pearl barley and lots of beautiful seasonal greens. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Spoon the batter into the prepared brownie tin and bake for 55 - 60 minutes, covering the brownies loosely in tin foil halfway through cooking to stop them catching. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool just a little. In a bowl, whisk the chilled coconut cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract until thick and creamy. Slice the brownie into squares and serve with the coconut whip for drizzling. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 300 gr. waxy potatoes 1 onion olive oil 5 large free-range eggs Method Peel the potatoes using a speed-peeler, then carefully cut them into thin slices. Pat the potato slices dry with a clean tea towel. Peel and finely slice the onion. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil into a small frying pan over a medium heat, then add the onion and potatoes. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 25 - 30', or until the onions are turning golden and the potato slices are cooked through. Try not to stir it too much or the potatoes will break up, just use a fish slice to flip them over halfway through. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then whisk together with a fork. When the onions and potatoes are cooked, remove the pan from the heat and carefully tip them into the eggs. Transfer the mixture back into the frying pan and place it over a low heat. Cook for around 20', or until there’s almost no runny egg on top. Use a fish slice to slightly lift and loosen the sides of the tortilla. Carefully flip the pan over a dinner plate and tip out the tortilla, then slide it back into the pan and cook for another 5', or until golden and cooked through. Turn out the tortilla onto a serving board, then cut into 6 wedges and serve hot or cold with a simple green salad. Source: https://www.jamieoliver.com/

Ingredients 1 package frozen edamame or 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed 225 gr. small or medium-sized raw shrimp olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup chicken broth or stock, unsalted or reduced sodium preferred 230 gr. vermicelli or other thin pasta, broken into5 cm pieces 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon sweet paprika 1/4 cup dry white wine Parmesan cheese (optional) Method Do ahead Cook the edamame according to package directions, this can be done a day ahead, storing cooked edamame in the shells in the fridge. An hour or so before cooking the, shell 1/2 cup of edamame beans and set aside. Peel and devein the shrimp. If you wish to use the shells to flavor your stock, they add a nice extra to the finished dish, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add the shrimp shells, toss to coat with oil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 - 3'. Add chicken stock and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 6 - 7'. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then pour through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup, pressing gently on the shells with the back of a spoon to release more liquid. Add enough water to bring liquid back to 2 cups and set aside. You can do this as you prep your vegetables or a little before. Cook the dish. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick sauté pan or deep skillet over medium flame. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and quickly sauté, about 2' per side. Don’t worry if they haven’t cooked completely through, you’ll finish them later with the pasta. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Drizzle a little more oil in the pan and add the broken pasta. Carefully stir it to coat with oil and cook until nicely golden brown, stirring almost constantly, about 6 - 8', watch closely, it can go from nothing to burnt quickly. Transfer to a large bowl with a spatula or other slotted tool. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel. Add 2 more tablespoons of oil and sweat bell pepper and onion until softening, stirring frequently to avoid browning, 5 - 7', reduce heat if onion begins to brown. Season with a little salt and a generous grind of pepper. Stir in garlic and paprika and cook until fragrant, about 45". Add wine and cook until almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low and add pasta to pan along with 1/2 cup of broth. Cook, stirring, until broth is mostly absorbed into pasta. Add another 1/2 cup and repeat. Add the remaining cup of broth and continue cooking, stirring frequently to coat pasta. The pasta will seem to resist softening, alarmingly so as the broth level reduces, don’t worry. At about 8 - 10' in of total cooking time, it will start to relax. And even any errant strands that fail to totally soften won’t have that raw pasta taste, thanks to the toasting, instead, they’ll have a nice, delicious crunch. When pasta has cooked for about 6 - 8', stir in the edamame and nestle the shrimp into the pasta, if you’re substituting peas, add them when you add the last of the broth to give them time to cook. Stir occasionally and start tasting noodles at 10' for doneness. Adjust seasonings and serve in shallow pasta bowls, arranging the shrimp on top. Top with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired, and serve. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/

Remove to paper towels to drain using a slotted spoon. Carefully pour the bacon grease into a heat proof bowl or measuring jug. Return 2 tablespoons of fat to the pan, then add the chicken pieces in one layer. You’ll need to do this in batches, don’t crowd the pot. Cook the chicken pieces until lightly brown and sealed, flip over and do the same to the other side. Remove to a plate and finish all the chicken. If you need to, add a bit more bacon grease as you go. When all the chicken is seared, add 2 more tablespoons grease to the pot, if you run out of grease, use vegetable oil. Sauce Stir in the onion, celery and green pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook a further minute, then sprinkle over the remaining spice blend, stir and cook until you get a beautiful waft of fragrance from the pot. If using, pour in the Madeira and stir, scraping up the lovely brown bits from the bottom of the pot, until the liquid is evaporated. Pour in the tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a nice bubble. Add the raisins, half of the cooked bacon and the thyme stalks. Return the chicken to the sauce, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked through. Give it a stir occasionally to make sure nothing on the bottom burns. Remove the lid and cook for another 30' until the sauce thickens a little, stirring frequently. The Country Captain can be made up to a day ahead at this point, cooled, covered and refrigerated. Reheat gently, adding a bit more chicken broth if needed. Remove the thyme stems from the stew and serve in a big bowl over coconut rice. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon pieces and the slivered almonds. Rice Stir the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar and salt together in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Ingredients For the pancake: 1,5 to 2 cups kimchi or 1 cup of kimchi and 1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken 1 egg, beaten 1 cup flour 1 cup water, maybe more 3 tablespoons kimchi liquid 3 tablespoons chives cut into 2 inch pieces or use green part of scallions 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons oil For lazy Marion’s dipping sauce: 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 rice wine vinegar or white vinegar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon hot oil or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Method Make the pancake. Chop the kimchi and chicken into small pieces. Put the flour, beaten egg, water, and kimchi liquid into a mixing bowl and stir together. The batter should be runnier than American pancake batter – if it doesn’t seem runny enough, add even more water. Err a bit on the side of runniness rather than thickness. Once you have mixed the batter together, add in the chopped kimchi and chicken and stir everything together. In a 30 cm nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium flame, let the pan warm up completely before you start cooking. Add the chives and sauté them for a minute. Then pour in everything else and spread it around evenly. Then leave it alone as it cooks for 4 - 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make lazy Marion’s dipping sauce. Mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl and portion into individual small bowls for each person. Once the pancake is nicely golden on the bottom (lift up the edge to check with your spatula), then flip the pancake and cook the other side. You can flip it using the plate trick (slide onto a plate, then hold the skillet upside down over the plate and flip it) or just flip the whole thing, exercising caution. Cook about 3 more minutes, then slide onto a serving plate or charger. Traditionally, this pancake is sliced into long strips just before serving – we used a pizza wheel. It is great fresh from the stove. It is also great at room temperature, making it a good summertime dish, something you can cook in advance and then serve in the hot part of the day.

Ingredients 1 tablespoon active yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1/2 cup warm water, about 45 °C 3,5 cups bread flour 1 cup pumpkin puree 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt Method Sprinkle the yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the honey and pour over the warm water. Give it a little stir and let it sit until foamy, about 5'. Add the flour, pumpkin, olive oil, and salt and mix with the dough hook on a low setting until it all comes together. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Work the dough with hook on low speed for 8–10 minutes until the dough is a soft, elastic ball that has cleaned all the flour and bits off the sides of the bowl. Push the dough back down if it starts to push over the top of the dough hook. When the dough is kneaded, transfer the dough ball to a bowl greased with olive oil. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Punch down the risen dough and leave it to rest for 10'. Sprinkle your counter lightly with corn meal. Divide the dough into 2 balls and shape each into a smooth disc. Working one ball at a time, use your hands to push the dough outward from the center, turning the dough 1/4 turn as you go, until you have a nice round pizza, about 25 cm around. Push and stretch the dough outward from the middle until it won't stretch any more. Leave the pizza base to rest for 5'. Repeat with the next disc. Carefully transfer the pizza base to a baking sheet lightly brushed with olive oil. If it loses its shape, press it back into the round. Use your fingertips to press indentions in the dough to prevent it from bubbling up. Spread on the tomato–pumpkin sauce and the toppings of your choice. Bake for 10 - 12' until the crust is golden and the cheese toppings are melted. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/

0.5 stick unsalted butter 1 package frozen carrots, celery and onions (“mirepoix blend”), thawed and drained 2 teaspoons minced garlic (freshly minced or from a jar) 2 800 gr. cans crushed tomatoes 910 gr. low-sodium chicken broth 5 sprigs fresh thyme 5 sprigs fresh oregano Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional) Method Cut the butter into small pieces and place in the crock of a 7-quart slow cooker. Partially cover and leave for a few minutes to melt. Add the vegetables and garlic, stir to coat with the butter, cover the slow cooker and leave to soften, about 20'. Pour the tomatoes and broth into the slow cooker and stir to combine. Tie the sprigs of thyme and oregano together with kitchen twine to make a neat little bundle. It is OK if leaves come off, but you don’t want stems in your soup. Tuck the herb bundle into the soup, cover the slow cooker and cook for 5 to 6 hours on high, or 7 to 8 hours on low. When ready to serve, fish out the herb bundle and discard. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you want a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream and leave to warm through. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/

Ingredients 2 packets active dry yeast 1/2 cup lukewarm water 455 gr. cottage cheese 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 eggs, at room temperature 4,5 - 5 cups all-purpose flour Method Rinse the bowl of a stand mixer with warm water so the bowl is not cold. Pour the 1/2 cup lukewarm water over in the bowl and sprinkle the yeast over. Sprinkle in a little of the sugar and stir. Leave for about 5' to proof. Heat the cottage cheese in a small pan over medium-low heat just until it is lukewarm. Do not let it scorch or bubble. Add the cottage cheese to the yeast in the bowl, then add the rest of the sugar, the salt, baking soda and the eggs and 1 cup of flour and beat with the paddle attachment until combined. Add about 3 - 3,5 cups of flour, a little at a time, just until you have a shaggy, wet dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Scrape the dough into a well – greased bowl, turn it over so the top is greased as well then cover and leave to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in volume. Remove the risen dough to a surface dusted with about 1/2 cup of flour. Knead the dough a few times in the flour to remove some of the stickiness. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces with a floured knife or bench scraper. Lightly flour your hands and roll each portion into a ball. Place the balls close together in two greased 23 cm round pans. Cover the pans loosely with a towel and leave to rise for 30 - 40 minutes until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bake the rolls for 20' until firm and golden on the top. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with a tea towel until ready to serve. I like to serve these warm from the oven with butter to spread inside, but you can brush the tops of the cooled rolls with melted butter, loosely cover with foil and reheat in a low oven for a few minutes, just to warm through.

Ingredients 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley 1 clove garlic, minced 1 scallion, finely chopped Zest of 1 lemon 1 generous tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 pound ground lamb Salt and freshly ground black pepper Canola oil 3 burger buns (we used pretzel buns) Method Combine the parsley, garlic, lemon zest in a small bowl. Add the Dijon mustard and stir with a fork to mix everything together. In a large bowl mix the ground lamb and the parsley mixture together until just combined. You need to strike that fine balance of getting the parsley mixture distributed evenly without overworking the meat. Form three burger patties with the lamb mixture and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Before cooking the burgers, make an indentation in the centers with your thumb, this will keep the burgers from plumping up too much as they cook. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high flame. Toast the buns, if you like, you can use the toaster or your grill pan. Brush the heated grill with some oil and grill the buns cut sides down, pressing down slightly on them to make sure they make contact with the pan, a minute or two should do it. Make sure the pan is plenty hot and brush it with some more oil, if needed. Cook the burgers for 3 - 4' on the first side, then an additional 3' on the second side for medium-rare. A quick-read thermometer should read about 50 °C when inserted in the center of the burger. Transfer burgers to buns and serve immediately. These burgers had a nice lemony brightness, thanks to the lemon zest. You can serve extra Dijon mustard to amp up that flavor, if you like, if you’re a mayo lover, that works too.

Ingredients 1/2 of one medium butternut squash, peeled and diced into medium pieces 1/2 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Pinch of chili powder Pinch of cinnamon 1/2 Granny Smith apple, sliced thin About 10 thin slices of red onion 3-4 slices of prosciutto (*optional, may leave out for a vegetarian option) A handful of dried cranberries About 1/4 cup Chevre cheese, crumbled 1/2 package of store-bought (or homemade)pizza dough Method Preheat oven to 200 °C. Peel, slice, and dice the butternut squash. Lay squash in an even layer across baking sheet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and cinnamon. Use a spatula to toss until oil and spices cover all sides of the squash. Bake in preheated oven for 20 - 25', turning once, until squash is soft, fragrant, and the edges are beginning to brown. If you're not a fan of raw red onion, toss your onion slices in with the squash in the last 5' and let them soften up a bit. While the squash is baking, cut up your apple and onion and roll out your pizza dough. When squash is done and cooled slightly transfer to top of pizza dough, and using a fork, squish all the squash cubes down so they make a single layer of squash across the pizza. Leave space around the edge for a crust if you wish. Add the apple, onion, prosciutto, cranberries, and Chevre to the top of the squash. Go easy on the Chevre, it's much stronger and creamier than Mozzarella. Bake your pizza for 20 - 30', until dough is fully cooked, and cheese is browned a bit. Slice and cool for 5' before serving.

Stir continuously, scraping the bottom of the pan, for 3'. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, using your spoon to vigorously scrape the bottom of the pan, to get all the flavorful bits off of the pan, then add the chicken and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and stir in the chopped kale until mostly wilted. Add the half & half, stirring again to combine. At this point, cut a few vents in your puff pastry, and (work quickly so it doesn't warm up too much before going into the oven) lay it over top of the skillet. Put it immediately in the oven and bake for 30 - 40', or until the pastry is golden and the pot pie is bubbling. Serve warm. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/

Ingredients For the Grits 2 cups chicken broth 2 cups heavy cream 1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter 1 cup stone ground grits 2-1/2 teaspoons salt Several grinds of black pepper For the Shrimp 450 gr. large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon regular mustard powder 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon salt A few grinds of black pepper Dash of cayenne pepper 6 strips of bacon, cut into small pieces 1 green bell pepper, finely diced 3/4 cups chopped green onion, white, light green and a little dark green (from a big bunch) 410 gr. diced tomatoes 2 Tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken broth 1 quarter of a large lemon Finely chopped parsley for garnish Method Grits In a deep-sided large pan (grits tend to spatter), stir the broth, cream and butter together over medium high heat until the butter is melted and it all comes to a low boil. Stir in the grits, salt, and pepper and reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 30 - 45', stirring frequently to prevent scorching. The grits should be tender and the liquid absorbed. You may add a bit more broth if needed. When cooked, the grits can be kept covered for an hour or so, then slowly reheated over low, stirring in a little broth. Shrimp Mix together the paprika, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne. Pat the shrimp dry if necessary and place on plate. Sprinkle the spice mix liberally over both sides of the shrimp, turning over to get a good coating. Leave the shrimp in the fridge for 30' to an hour. When the shrimp are ready, sauté the bacon pieces in a wide skillet over medium high until crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. Pour the bacon grease into a small bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of grease back into the pan and heat over medium high. Sear the shrimp briefly – just a few seconds per side – to seal in the spice mixture. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add more bacon grease to the pan so that you have about 4 Tablespoons, then drop in the green pepper and the green onion. Sauté until the pepper and green onion are soft. As they release some liquid, you can scrape the tasty brown bits from the bottom of the pan. While the vegetables are cooking, drain most of the juice from the tomatoes into a measuring cup. Add enough chicken broth to make one cup of liquid and set aside. When the green vegetables are soft, add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are heated through and start to soften. Break up any large pieces. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat, there should not be any white flour visible. Pour in the broth and tomato liquid and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat a little and let the mixture bubble away until it is nice and thick, stirring to avoid scorching. Squeeze over a quarter of a lemon (making sure you’ve removed seeds) and stir. Add the shrimp to the sauce in the pan, cover and cook for 5 - 8', until the shrimp are cooked through. Spoon the grits into shallow bowls and spoon over the shrimp and sauce. Sprinkle over the crispy bacon pieces and chopped parsley. Source: https://www.csmonitor.com/

I measure out 50 grams of dry couscous into a large shallow bowl, bring 100ml of water and 1/4 of a Herb Stock Cube to the boil, make sure the cube is dissolved. Pour this over the couscous, stir, then quickly cover with cling film and let sit for 5'. Uncover then fluff up with a fork. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool, make sure you fluff it now and again so it doesn’t clump together. This will make enough for about 3 wraps. Toss together the tomatoes, olives, peppers, spring onion and toasted pine nuts in a small bowl. Heat a wrap gently just so it is more pliable. Mash half a large avocado with a pinch of smoked sea salt or alternative as mentioned and some black pepper. Spread the avocado mash down the centre of the wrap then top with the cooked couscous, about 2 - 3 tablespoons then spoon the veg mixture down the side: Then fold the ends over then roll up tightly, making sure it all stays inside!

Ingredients Traditional Cake Donuts (Fried) 2 large eggs 227 gr. buttermilk 44 gr. PreGel Five Star Chef Pannacrema Pineapple 198 gr. sugar 113 gr. cake flour, sifted 418 gr. unbleached, all-purpose flour, sifted 3 gr. baking soda 4 gr. baking powder 4 gr. salt 28 gr. unsalted butter as needed vegetable oil, lard or vegetable shortening for frying Rum Glaze 142 gr. confectioner's sugar, sifted 21 gr. light corn syrup 14 gr. unsalted butter, melted 14 - 28 gr. whole milk or water 8 gr. PreGel Five Star Chef Pannacrema Rum Method Traditional Cake Donuts (Fried) While you prepare the dough, begin heating the lard (best flavor), shortening (less saturated fat but also less flavor), or vegetable oil (probably the healthiest alternative but if you're doing these for flavor, this is not the choice to make). An 8-quart stock pot is an appropriate size cooking co Slowly start to melt/heat the fat over medium heat. You want it to reach somewhere between 180 - 190 °C before you begin to cook. Beat together the eggs, buttermilk, PreGel Pannacrema Pineapple and sugar until light. In a separate bowl, blend together the dry ingredients. Melt the butter, but make sure it's not excessively hot. Quickly blend the dry ingredients with the wet and stir in the melted butter. The resulting dough will be quite soft, but if you keep your work surfaces well sprinkled with flour, you can deal with it. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead four or five times to make it cohesive. Then with a well-floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until it's about 1,25 cm thick. With a doughnut cutter dipped in flour (each time you cut), cut out doughnuts. Save the "holes" or re-roll them with leftover dough. Try to handle the dough as little as possible. When the fat is at the appropriate temperature 180 - 190 °C, lower three or four doughnuts into it. A slotted spoon is useful here. The doughnuts will initially sink to the bottom of the pot but will rise shortly. Give them a minute or so on one side, then flip them over and give them another Flip them a third time and cook for another 30". Drain on paper towels (or brown paper grocery bags). Store cooled doughnuts, well wrapped, at room temperature for a couple of days. Freeze for longer storage. Rum Glaze In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whip attachment, combine together all of the ingredients, adding additional liquid or confectioner’s sugar as needed to adjust the desired consistency.

Our land comes first Our company expands and evolves according to the wishes of our customers, while it sets as a primary purpose the fulfilment of different consumer demands. However, we cannot neglect the fact that, special emphasis is given to the needs of the local, Corfu society, while we try by every possible means to adapt to them. The birth and the continuation of our company are the result of the dedication and confidence, which, for 26 years, business People and consumers show us practically and without doubt. Authentic, local flavours For all these reasons, we try incessantly to support local products and to provide the most effective services to all Corfiot businesses. Despite the fact that, the company Kazianis has products from all corners of the world, it does not forget the Greek and especially the Corfiot tradition, which has offered much in the gastronomic culture of the entire country. From kumquat, up to handmade cookies of the Corfiot association "Bee", the Kazianis company promotes effectively small businesses and promises to all customers an incredible, tasting experience. However, our company is not limited to food items, which are produced on crops of the island or from the hands of locals, but extends to other products, suitable to satisfy the modern needs. An excellent cooperation with remarkable people Let us not forget, that the trust you place in us, is the biggest incentive, so as to expand our franchise. So, we take into consideration the most remote areas, where shopping opportunities are limited and we are planning the construction of new stores. Without discrimination, we respect the difficulties of every village and we work with a view to resolving them. Of course, the company would not have the same successful results without the Corfiot businesses, in which an excellent cooperation is noted. This results from helping each other and supplying quality products, which increase the comforts but also claims for a better future. The largest value is given, yet, on employment opportunities that we create for our fellow human beings, providing them with perks and certainly with a friendly environment and creativity.

Always with ecological consciousness It is a fact that the company Kazianis, as much it appreciates human being to his desires, just like it respects the environment and maintains unwavering ecological conscience. Our company, from the very moment of its founding, undertakes environmentally friendly practices, which has never ceased to exist. Today, as a group of individuals with increased ecological concerns, we protect the environment and we uphold the view that the Earth just hosts us. By estimating the contribution of nature in the expansion and improvement of our products, we feel the need but also the duty to protect and exercise constructive criticism to those who do not. The human value of environmental protection For this reason, we take into consideration that, both on the inside and especially outside, the space has always to be clean. The reason is twofold: not only we make sure that we create a pleasant, clean and friendly environment for you and your purchases, but also to protect nature, both locally and nationally. Our region needs this treatment, since we realize that there is a distancing to ecological issues and problems. So, we decide to act effectively, making always the first step. We raise the attention to you and especially to ourselves, so that a clean environment can contribute to the well-being and realization of human value and forcefulness. With the most environmentally friendly practices However, we do not stay in theory, we act effectively. The goal of our company, apart from the satisfaction of your needs and fulfilment of your comforts, consists of collective actions to protect the environment. For this reason, we take care, that our product packaging is recyclable and user- and environmental friendly, but also to maintain our outer space clean. Of course, regarding our scraps, we always aim to optimize the methods of recycling and we are fully opposing to tactics that result in overflowing of buckets. For any innovation associated with the recyclable energy sources, we are always up to date and more than willing to install in Kazianis stores.

Our company, from its year of foundation in 1985, ensures the equality of different people and bring serious social responsibility, which represents diversity and promotes humanitarian solidarity. Why do we choose a handmade cookie? The association "Bee" has undertaken a demanding task, which needs support and promotion. Of course, this does not mean that the assistance has to be one-sided but much more that we have a duty to provide protection and assistance. For this reason, our company included in the sale of products the exquisite, delicious and above all handmade cookies of association "Bee". Those who have tried them, can surely understand the uniqueness and authenticity of their taste. Those, again, who have not yet tried, we guarantee that the handmade cookies are much more delicious than the prepared ones, while the first were made mainly with love and patience.
