銀鱈のかば焼き: Black Cod With Kabayaki Sauce

While I enjoy the savory-sweet flavors of うな丼 (unadon) or grilled freshwater eel brushed with かば焼き (kabayaki), that addicting sweet soy sauce-based glaze, eel is off the menu for us. It’s really being overfished cuz young eels at the glass

ψητό κοτόπουλο λεμόνι ρίγανη: Roasted Lemon-Oregano Chicken

The first time I had lemon-oregano chicken was in a dark, tiny cafe in Santorini that had maybe 5 tables and served amazing home-style Greek food. While I enjoy restaurant food, I find that the over-the-top richness can lose its

Deceptively Easy Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken
