🌦️ RAIN? WHO CARES… THERE’S PIZZA! 🍕😂

Between the showers this week, we headed up to Mirko’s @pizzaup2026 van at the top of Roath Park Lake.

Pizza to take away, pizza to munch on the walk — and that sauce?! 🤌🔥 Absolutely banging. And he does a breakfast menu too.

Authentic. Affordable. Proper tasty. And loads of character thrown in for good measure.

🌦️🍕 Next time you’re caught between showers, head to Pizza Up! Don’t stay in!

Courgette season is peaking! 💚

Call it zucchini, courgette, or κολοκυθάκια (kolokithakia) - it’s one of the most beautiful, affordable, and versatile vegetables to cook with.

Here’s my super easy stuffed courgette recipe made with just rice, courgette, salt and pepper, yogurt, and eggs. Simple, comforting, and perfect for courgette season. 💚

Why not make it, tag me, and let me know how it turned out? I’d love to see your creations!

Enjoy! 🌿✨

Simple Stuffed Courgettes with Yogurt & Cheddar

Ingredients
3 large courgettes
Courgette flesh
Up to 6 tbsp rice
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & black pepper
½ cup water
6 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
6 slices cheddar, cubed
1 tbsp plain flour sifted

Method
Preheat the oven to 180–200°C. Halve the courgettes lengthways, scoop out the flesh, lightly salt the shells, brush the baking tray with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.
Cook the courgette flesh in olive oil, add the rice, season well, pour in the water, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Mix together the yogurt, egg, egg yolk, flour, cheddar, salt, and pepper (season to taste- o recommend a LOT OF PEPPER 1/4 tsp at least).

PUDDING🍊 // ten out of ten for this European version of a Custard pudding. I have had so much fun making and eating it chilled.

This one is inspired by Xmas sweet leftovers and the seasonal abundance of citrus. It has a base made from the last homemade Melomakárona cookies, a few heaped tablespoons velvety Custard, juicy seasonal clementines hidden into it, cinnamon sprinkle, toasted blanched almonds and shavings of dark chocolate. Chilled, refreshing, well portioned and delightful.

Brought back memories of the mini puddings I bought in Greek patisseries and also the Mahlabia cream desserts I was introduced to in Cardiff.

One left in the fridge and don’t know how long I’ll last before I scoff it up

YOGHURT SOUP// this is a tasty yoghurt soup recipe from my beloved Greek north. It’s a nutritious, easy, savvy and quick dish. Your digestive system will thank you for it.

What:
150 g rice (any kind)
1.5 lt boiled water
300 ml broth or stock (love it with bone broth)
200 g strained Greek yoghurt
2 tsp sea salt (minimum)
Ground black pepper
Juice of half a lemon
2 tsp dried spearmint (mint will do even if spearmint is better/thai basil works too)
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp ground turmeric

How:
1. Simmer the boiled water, stock and salt in a deep pot.
2. Add the rice and cook for 20min or until the rice cooks on low heat (covered).
3. Remove from hob.
4. Gradually strain a few ladles of the cooked liquid from the pot into a bowl that has the yoghurt.
5. Stir it in gradually with a fork to thin gradually. You will need 2-3 ladles of strained liquid .
6. Return the thinned yoghurt and mix with the soup.
7. Add the lemon, pepper and spearmint .
8. Taste to adjust seasoning.
9. Melt the butter and stir in the turmeric
10. Serve and drizzle with the turmeric butter

For a vegan version use oat milk, coconut oil and replace the mint with curry leaves. You can add mustard seeds too using the tempering process.
