Melomakarona
(Meh-loh-mah-kah-RO-nah)
These
cake-like cookies are a traditional dessert prepared primarily during the Christmas holiday season, due mainly to their notes of
cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
Like many of our offerings, though, they are just too good to be enjoyed just a small handful of times per year, so we leave them on our menu all year round.
Each cookie is approximately 1 oz,, having a slightly oval-shape and is dipped in a syrup created from scratch in our kitchen with cinnamon, cloves, oranges and a kiss of honey.
Loukoumades / Loukoumathes
(loo-koo-MA-thes)
The Greek version of a donut, sometimes thought of as a kin to the zeppoli - these are light, fluffy balls of dough that our doused in a honey-based simple syrup, which can then also be topped with powdered sugar, cinnamon or merenda (the Greek version of Nutella). And, if you're really feeling it, then get all three - YUM!
Koliva / Kollyva
Koliva, also known as kollyva, kollyba, kolyvo, or colivÄ, is a dish with deep cultural and religious significance in the Eastern Orthodox Church. It's primarily seen as a food offering for commemorating the dead, symbolizing remembrance, life, and hope.
Creating Koliva is a labor of love and tradition. Each step, from carefully boiling the wheat berries to selecting and chopping the nuts and dried fruits, deserves attention to detail. Additionally, if you have specific design preferences for the Koliva's presentation, we'll need time to discuss and prepare them with care. Therefore, we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in placing your Koliva orders in advance. We're here to help you create a truly special and memorable tribute.
Tsoureki
Tsoo-REH-key
This bread is used in symbolism of the Resurrection of Christ and rebirth in general. It's a traditional sweet yeast bread, consisting of three braids that represent the Holy Trinity. Typically, made on Holy Thursday during the yearly observation of Orthodox Easter, this is then consumed on Easter Sunday.
We, however, make tsoureki all year round since it makes for a delicious bread to be used for French toast!
Some have also have referred to Tsoureki as being the same as Challah given that they are both made from a rich dough. Tsoureki, though, is much richer than Challah because it includes milk and butter.
Vasilopita
(vah-see-lo-pea-tah)
Described as the sweet bread of St. Basil, this is typically made in a round shape with the numbers of the New Year to come on top, as it's traditionally served on New Year's Day. It's very similar to tsoureki; our version, though, is more cake-like since we do not use bread flour in this recipe.
A coin is hidden inside (called a flouri (floo-ree), which is thought to bring luck to whoever gets it, for the year to come.
