Cretan Kalitsounia
Difficulty: High
Greek: Kaltsounia Me Kanella
There are various versions of Kaltsounia. Cretan Kaltsounia are also shaped in stars like in the picture. Our effort to shape them like stars was unfortunate as you may notice. the difference from the proposal in the recipe is that instead of making a half moon you roll the circled dough up, down and left , right of the filling and then squize the dough in order to shape a star.
Semolina and Almond Cake
Serves/Yields: 8 persons
Season: All seasons
Greek: Halvas
The traditional golden formula for halva is counting 1, 2, 3, 4. What this means is 1 cup olive oil, 2 cups coarse semolina, 3 cups sugar and 4 of water. Nowadays, people reduce the amount of sugar from 3 to 2 cups and also instead of olive oil they may use sunflower seed oil.
Rooster in wine and tomato sauce
Serves/Yields: 4 - 6 persons
Difficulty: Medium
Season: All seasons

Rooster with thick macaroni, also called “Matsata”, is the traditional dish of Folegandros island. This recipe is slightly different from “Matsata” but still very tasty! The picture shows a rooster served with fried potatoes and should not be confused with “Matsata”, served in Folegandros.
