The recipe was really good
but the explanations were not
very clear and precise.
Then the pastry was not
enough cooked.
The preparation was very
easy!

4. The greek cookies were delicious but the orange juice and the
cognac were both a little bit strange. It was really easy to do it
and it didn't take too much time. We think that it is really
different from the French cookies. Thank you for sharing this
good recipe with us .

Théophile and Joseph
Yogurt cake
Konstantinos:
I made the cake but the amounts
of the ingredients were not quite
right.
The dough was hard and I put
another yogurt to make it soft.I
had to bake it for 40 min instead
of 20 min. It was tasty andI
would love to make it again.

6. Ingredients
1 cup olive oil, 2 cups coarse semolina, 2 cups sugar, 4 cups of water, 100 grams blanched
almonds and 2 tbspn cinnamon
Method
Put the oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat and when it is almost smoking hot gradually
add the semolina, stirring continuously until it turns light brown. Reduce the heat, add the
almonds and brown together, stirring - it is a matter of taste how brown you will let it get. In
the meantime, dilute 2 cups of sugar in the water and boil for 3-4 minutes. Withdraw the
semolina from the heat, and add the hot syrup while stirring. Return to a gentle heat and keep
stirring until the mixture looks smooth. When almost all the moisture has been absorbed add
the remaining sugar. Cover the halva with a clean tea towel and let it stand for 10 minutes to
absorb moisture. Empty it into a fluted mould or a cake tin, and dust all over with cinnamon.
Konstantinos and Alex
Semolina CAKE - (Halvas)
This cake is easy to make but the proportionality is not
respected with the olive oil. But apart from that this
recipe is very good according to my friends because
peronnaly I hate the semolina cake.
We don’t understand why we must use so much olive oil
for this little cake because that makes it very heavy !
Thanks you veru much

Dear friend
When I made this recipe ,I
can see that this recipe was
easy but requiered a lot of
time to do it !
It was good but I would'n't
eat it every day because it
was very heavy for my small
stomach !!!
My parents and my two
sisters tasted them also and
liked it but found also that it
was heavy !!!
I want to tell you
thank you very much dear
friend !!!!!

10. Ingredients
One whole chicken
1 kg potatoes
4 oranges
2 lemons
salt, pepper
olive oil
Method
Cut chicken and potatoes in pieces , put them in the pan.
Squeeze oranges and lemons
Pour orange and lemon juice on chicken and potaoes
Add salt ,pepper,olive oil on top of it.
Bake it for 35 minutes
The secret of this recipe is not to use water but let the chicken and the
potatoes bake in the juices. This gives the food a unique taste and a
special colour.
Katherina and Marie Anna
As my friend Nicole is
vegetarian, she
couldn’t eat the dish;
so I prepared and ate
it alone. I found it
delicious but itseems
that doses were
inaccurate ; so it was
a little bit difficult to
do. It was cool to
discover a new Greek
meal because in
France we don’t eat
this kind of food.
