New friend

New friendI have a new friend and this blog post is exactly dedicated to her. Ria is a pastry chef based in Chania. For the moment, she is my private cook in Chania, but you can book her too during your holidays.

The first time I met her, she brought to me a traditional Greek sesame seed bread ring. The second time we met, she brought me a crunchy chocolate hazelnut spread.  

As time went by, we developed our own code of communication which goes down to this agreement: she cook, I photograph!

So, the third time she visited me, she made the best Cretan brunch which was consisted of: staka dip with eggs, brioche with poached eggs and avocado, and bruschette. 

The fourth time she visited me, she cooked squid ink tagliatelle with shrimp, ouzo and tomato sauce. For dessert we had a traditional Greek Halva, that one that you see in the photo above.

My new friend and her delicious recipes do good to my soul and mind..but whether I can say the same for my body figure…I am not sure!

La Canée

La Canée

There is a story behind every photo of mine.

When we took this photo, right behind me, there was a guy who was speaking in French on the phone. It was just him and us there, no one else. We actually stopped at this location because I found the light on the sea fascinating. I was curious to see what kind of photos this light could give us.

So we took a bunch of photos and filmed a few videos. We also hoped that we didn’t bother the Frenchman with our little photo shooting….He was laying on a beach sun bed and he was enjoying the sunshine.

He is the reason why I give the title ‘La Canée’  to this blog post, because La Canée means Chania in French. Without him knowing this, I dedicate this blog post to him. Most probably he might never get to know this…
