Kalimera’s Famous Chicken Gyros

I did a series for Good Food Australia called Secret Recipes a few years ago, in which I revealed recipes for some of the most famous meals in the world that were kindly given to me by the very restaurants that are well-known for them.

I did the first one for the amazing Greek gyros. I've always had an obsession with gyros, and for the majority of my life, I've stuck to my original recipe, which calls for a strong marinade of yogurt, garlic, and oregano. Today's gyros recipe is something else, even though I still adore it.

Chocolate Pudding Pots

These tiny Chocolate Pudding Pots are everything I adore in a dessert: sophisticated enough for a formal meal, but really simple to prepare, and indulgent without being unduly rich or sugary. It's the kind of dish that gives the impression that you've done something brilliant, even though all it takes is whisking a few ingredients together and chilling.

In essence, it's a no-bake variation of the French chocolate custards known as Pots de Crème. The flavor and texture are same, melting into a river of chocolate in your mouth with a gentle creaminess. The best part is that these keep beautifully for days. I hide them in the refrigerator and sneak spoonfuls every time I walk by, until my pot magically runs out. My pudding pot was eaten by whom?

Cajun Baked Salmon Bites

Cajun Baked fish Bites are a quick (12 minutes) and incredibly delicious method of cooking fish. Bake in a high oven to brown without overcooking the inside, then cut into cubes so the Cajun flavor permeates every bite. Yay, no spray from the stove!

Introducing Roasted Garlic Butter, my newest addiction. Everything tastes insanely delicious with this butterfrom roast beef to steaks, toast to steamed vegetables because of its deep, roasted garlic sweetness, salt, and savouriness from parmesan and anchovies.

Chimichurri Butter

One of the greatest steak sauces in the world, Chimichurri Butter is an enhanced butter version of traditional Argentine Chimichurri Sauce! This works particularly well with roast meat and steak, but it also works well with any cooked protein or steamed veggies.

Rump Cap Roast (Picanha)

I really think rump cap also known as picanha, sirloin cap and coulette is the best value, big-flavour roasting cuts you can buy. It’s a signature cut used in Brazilian churrasco, and is loved for delivering prime rib-style juiciness and big beefy flavour without the premium price.

RoastBeef

Crêpes are among the simplest and most cherished dishes in French cuisine. They were one of the first recipes I mastered during my childhood, and each time I prepare them, I am reminded of home. They are universally adored, whether served plain or with elaborate toppings!
