Charred Cabbage Steaks with Mediterranean Toppings
March 19, 2026
These charred cabbage steaks with Mediterranean toppings are my tribute to that moment, filtered through everything my yiayia taught me in her Chania kitchen. Thick slabs of green cabbage, roasted at high heat until the edges are deeply caramelized and the centers are meltingly tender, then piled with everything I love about Greek Mediterranean flavors: crumbled feta, Kalamata olives, a drizzle of tahini, toasted pine nuts, fresh herbs, and a generous squeeze of lemon. It’s a Mediterranean vegetable side dish that steals the show from whatever main course you’ve planned, a vegetarian cabbage steaks dinner that’s hearty enough to stand alone, and it takes about 35 minutes from cutting board to table. Trust me on this one — cabbage has never looked this good.
One-Pot Mediterranean Cabbage Soup (40 Minutes)
March 18, 2026
There is a particular sound that takes me back to my yiayia’s kitchen in Chania every single time — the low, rolling bubble of a heavy pot on the stove, the lid clattering gently from the steam, and the slow release of cumin and oregano into the winter air.
Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Chimichurri (40 Minutes)
March 18, 2026
That memory is the reason these roasted cauliflower steaks with chimichurri exist on this blog. The technique is simple — high heat, good olive oil, patience — but the result is something that stops people mid-conversation at the dinner table. Golden. Crispy. Deeply caramelized. And then you spoon that bright, herbaceous chimichurri sauce over the top, and suddenly this humble vegetable becomes the centerpiece of your entire meal.
Greek Roasted Potatoes with Oregano (65 Minutes)
March 18, 2026
Let’s be real — potatoes get a bad reputation. But here’s the thing: as someone with a B.S. in Nutrition Science from the University of Barcelona, I can tell you that potatoes are actually nutritional powerhouses when prepared the right way. These Greek roasted potatoes with oregano skip the deep-fryer entirely and lean on extra-virgin olive oil instead — which makes all the difference.
Mediterranean Egg and Vegetable Bake (35 Minutes)
March 18, 2026
I grew up watching my mama roast whatever vegetables we had in the fridge and crack eggs right into the pan — it’s one of the most common weekday dinners across the Mediterranean. In my San Diego kitchen, I’ve been perfecting this version for the past two years, testing 9 different vegetable combinations and timing methods. This one? It’s the winner. Let’s make it!
Almond Flour Cake with Spring Berries (Makes 8 Slices)
March 18, 2026
This almond flour cake with spring berries is my tribute to that memory — and my own evolution of it. I’ve made this recipe over 40 times across fifteen years of testing. I’ve added the berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries in various combinations), brightened it with lemon zest, lightened it with separated egg whites, and landed on something I think would make my yiayia nod with approval. It’s naturally gluten-free, deeply moist, shatteringly tender, and it comes together in one bowl. No stand mixer. No complicated steps. Eight secrets, and I’m giving you all of them.
Mediterranean Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Makes 30)
March 17, 2026
Look, I’m going to be honest with you. The first time I tried making Mediterranean stuffed cabbage rolls, it was Thanksgiving 2019 and I’d invited my neighbor Diane over (big mistake). Every single roll unraveled in the pot. The filling leaked everywhere. Diane was polite about it but I could see it in her eyes.
Mediterranean Seafood Stew Cioppino (50 Minutes)
March 17, 2026
The name cioppino likely derives from the Genoese word ciuppin — to chop, or to stir together — which perfectly describes the philosophy: you use what the sea gives you, you build a fierce tomato broth, and you cook every piece of seafood with precision. I’ve made this Mediterranean seafood stew at least 35 times since I started teaching it in my Athens workshops, and the version I’ve landed on is something I’m genuinely proud of: deeply flavoured, surprisingly simple, and the kind of dish that makes people lean over the pot before it even reaches the table.
Mediterranean Breakfast Quesadilla (15 Minutes, Makes 2)
March 17, 2026
I need to confess something: the first time I tried making a Mediterranean breakfast quesadilla, in March 2021, the whole thing exploded open in the pan and deposited a small mountain of spinach and feta directly onto my stovetop. My roommate Priya watched from the couch and said — I’m quoting her exactly — “that’s
