Green Style
I want to maximize my positive energy , my green sparkle who is me and the people around me sometimes think is not exactly weird but probably close to that ..... because when optimizing my green thinking , cooking and food creating I just feel so much better , wide awake .. so there will be more basil and parsley in my kitchen also some plants since this island girl is staying at the Swedish mainland this summer .. sorry Gotland .. and will be able to give my plants the love they need , and lets make this summer the best ever ....
People sometimes or honestly all the time ask me , but what do you eat when rice , pasta & too much potatoes is clearly not the option .. well greens of course is my answer , as they come in so many shapes and can be cooked or not cooked in so many ways ....
And once again so,so good for you !
I also happen to have a small craze for the green colour in so many other ways , glassware , clothes , drinks .. well it is a soothing tone and it suites me well .. must have been born on a lush green September day !!
Its Pentecostal weekend here in the northern hemisphere , also traditionally a big wedding weekend .. wishing them all many mirthful & gay days !
Love is everywhere and for all kinds ... love is just so lovely !
Old school values , new creative brilliant ideas who can capture the skills in the kitchen are on my green mind at the moment .... a friend in Athens working with TV wanted me to act in a cooking show , some 10 years back .. I did not have the time required then , we was in the middle of a busy season ... but now when I feel rested from all the responsibility connected with running a food business scene .. it could have been fun ... but thats probably why I do my " Green Greek Island Cooking " for the fun .... and the liveliness it gives when meeting new people , the vitality and passion to pass on my exclusively collected health tips and recipes ...
Self care isnt just face masks , it might be to go to bed at 8 pm or letting go of a bad friend ... not luxury , but a mean for survival !!
So very Greek & you have to love it !
And so very Swedish also very lovely & playful ...
What makes something a superfood .. and whats the hype .. it started in the 90s and was meant for food-based products that claimed to improve your health , as the old Greek saying Food is thy Medicine , but the whole " super-thing " got kind of overused and the word Superfood is now banned in EU from labels , if it cant be proved that it improves your health ...
For me superfood is real food without a lot of numbers and synthetic stuff ...
Cooked the right way in all its simplicity !
Sorry guys but no recipes , not even any suggestions for what to cook .. have been up to my knees with food planning and organizing out in the country side .. and all the " rest " who is popping up when it is time to open a kitchen for the summer season ......
Will instead show you 2 pics who are look- alike and quite lovely
the first from Gotland , my Swedish favourite island where I lived for many years.
Now the second from Kalamata in Greece
