Single guy living on my own, can't cook so live on frozen food, microwave food and take-aways. About time I learnt to cook, will save me some money too.

1 dish at a time.

I fancy Kritharaki. I'm assuming it should be pretty straight forward to make? Electric oven and NOT fan assissted. How do I make it please? With chicken would be nice. Its getting expensive going to the psistaria to buy it!

im a skippy/cypriot in australia and cant find a recipe for tachinobita that is so commonly found in bakeries in cyprus. And also what does everyone believe is the best marinade or preperation for souvlakia and or sheftalia?
i miss strolling down the street in klirou for my tachinobita in the morning and a souvlakia in the evening ahh. I miss cyprus so at least give me the taste back.

For the pasrty:
6 cups flour
3/4 cups oil
2 cups lukewarm water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt

Topping/frosting
1 jar tahini
1/2 cup water
2tbsp lemon juice

1.you prepare the pastry and let it stand.
2.you beat the tahini in the mixer until it looks like crumbs
3.you add the water to it little by little
4. when it becomes creamy you add the lemon little by little
5.you take pieces of the dough and you roll it, you brush it with melted butter and then with the tahini mixture. you then season with sugar and cinnamon
6.You roll it up, you squeeze it and you start rolling it starting in the middle of the pan so that you make a big round pie
7. You brush it with the tahini misture, you season with sugar and cinnamon and you bake at 350 for about an hr
8. you put cold syrup on it.

Thanks anry!!! I have lots of recipes too but its written in Greek! I love cooking!!!

And dms...lots of women know how to cook, clean, wash and everything!!
But why it should be a female thing??
I know that the best chief around the world are men!
And before you ask...I do all of those and even more. I clean the house and cook since I was a child!
