A quick and easy dessert, FREE books and fun on the beach!

Hi, All! Today, I am thrilled to share my latest quick and easy dessert experiment in the kitchen as I try to find healthy alternatives to bought ice cream. And I am thrilled because I managed to make the perfect thing made of Greek yoghurt, that, somehow, tastes like chilled cake instead! Just yummy! I did try to store it in the freezer, and it was okay as an ice cream, but if kept in the fridge, the taste is a lot better.

The lady fingers (savoyard biscuits) in this recipe cause a taste explosion in the mouth, but only, as I stated earlier, if it’s kept in the fridge! The biscuits soak up the excess liquid from the yoghurt/sugar mix fully after 24 hours and it turns into something magical. You just have to try it!

Book review: Dominion of the Moon by Kostas Krommydas

Oh my! Having read and enjoyed Cave of Silence by this fine author I started reading Dominion of the Moon expecting a good read and the same sort of book, but I’ve experienced so much more! Highly mystical and mysterious, this book had me riveted from the first few pages. My father hails from the Greek island of Limnos and I’ve visited the Kaviria archeological site there – it’s similar to the one described in the book at Samothraki where Kavirian Mysteries were also said to be held in antiquity. Therefore, being already familiar with these dark ancient gods, I was fascinated by the story of the cult and its secret gatherings, and felt totally immersed in it.

The romance was sweet and tender, both in the case of the tragic archeologist and his grandson all those years later. Tragedy and hardship struck the former repeatedly in his life and I followed it all with a broken heart. I felt so close to this character and ached for the catharsis in the end that would see the members of the cult paying for their evil deeds.

The ending, as painful as it was for some of the characters, was utterly satisfying. I highly recommend this fresh, original story. The emotions it stirred in me as I read ebbed and flowed in my heart like the tide, exploding at times like a raging storm, similarly to that very special scene in the book.

The island of Samothraki comes alive through the pages, making me want to visit it at first opportunity. The love of Kostas Krommydas for this island is palpable and utterly magnetic.

 

My rating

5 stars!

Mysterious, enthralling and utterly satisfying!
