Change of plans...

  I wanted to be able to make these videos with the recipes I like but unfortunately the only decent video camera is part of my husband's phone. So... I will just post some recipes and when I' ll be able to take his phone away from him, I' ll try to make the videos and upload them to the corresponded recipes.

Kagianas

Hi, I’m Georgia and this is my tiny kitchen.

Although it is small, I have been able to make numerous recipes and I will be sharing some of them with you. Some are mine, some are traditional Greek and some I have found around the internet.

Today’s recipe is one of the first I learned to cook. It’s super easy and it’s mostly a summer time food as your main ingredient is very mature tomatoes. It has a plethora of names but in our family we call it “Kagiana” and I think it’s Turkish for omelet and that’s  exactly what that  food is. We are making an omelet with tomato and feta cheese.

Intro

          
                 Growing up, I enjoyed staying near my mother, grandmother and aunts as they were talking and cooking together around my aunt's kitchen. My grandmother makes amazing pies with handmade phyllo dough and my mother and aunts make the most delicious foods. That didn't make me wanna cook, just made enjoy eating that much I always struggle to keep my weight normal.
   After I started cooking on my own, I would always go to my mom to eat the foods I thought impossible to make. I didn't only found them hard but also very time consuming. I would always say to my shelf that I didn't want to spent my life in the kitchen cooking.
   As I grew older and older, without really noticing I started cooking some of those scary foods and they seemed quite easy but I wouldn't touch anything with dough. I wasn't even sure if I could make a decent cake. All these changed after I met my husband who loves pies and stuff like pigs in a blanket.
  So I gave them a try and just as a miracle, those recipes weren't that hard after all. I just had to find a way to make them to suit me better and I did.
  Soon I  found out that my friends and family around my age, where astonished every time they came to a gathering and I had cook, on my own, cheese pies and spinach pies and amazing chicken breast with bacon in cream. I tried explaining to them that cooking all these was easier that they thought but they wouldn't be persuaded.
 In that moment it struck me. There are a lot of young people out there that would love to cook something different but don't know how. I watch many cooking shows on TV or the internet and some times I feel intimidated by the chefs that always make everything seem easy, until of course I try to replicate their recipe. 
  So, I decided to make a few videos with the assistant of my husband who (of course) is the director, the producer and does the editing.  I just cook and want to show you how extremely easy it is.
 If I could help just one person try something for the first time, I would be thrilled, so join us if you like, I'ld love to hear suggestions or even requests.

Happy cooking
Georgia
