Home Made Halloumi
Every so often Stede would decide to make her own halloumi and my Mum said that they would all watch like hungry kittens. Is it ready yet? So she would break off a little bit and mould it into something that had little ears and a tail and give it to them to eat there and then. It was heaven… warm, soft and squeaky; Mum says she can taste it now after all these years.

Keftedes (Meatballs)
These are a brilliant finger food snack. They were made for gatherings and parties… even weddings when all the aunties would get together in one kitchen to make them from kilos of mince. Mum also made them for a quick midweek meal.

Koupepia
I remember Stede would go into the garden and pick the leaves from her vine to make these. We always had them if visitors were coming to dinner and they were often served as a side dish with the Sunday roast.

Vegan Vine Leaves
Stede always made Koupepia with minced pork or a mix of pork and beef. Any variation just wasn’t right.
However… we quite recently developed this meatless version and hey… we think they’re pretty good and extremely morish. I’m sure she would agree.
