I thought we could all get togethar on this forum and talk about our favourite cypriot foods and maybe give others recipes and instructions on making our favourite cypo foods and mezes.

One of my favourites is called "firin makarinasi" which translated is "oven pasta"
Now i know roughly whats in it but anyone got the recipe, please forward it.
It has a layer of long thick tubular pasta topped with a creamy cheesy sauce then with a layer of cheese on top which is the cooked in the oven till done, it is very delicious.

I recommend getting the famous Cypriot cookbook, you know the one that's on about it's 20th edition (with the waiter in traditional dress on the front). I've got it downstairs but can't be bothered to move!
