Welcome to Greek Lifestyle!

Our aim is to bring you inspiration, tradition and cultural celebrations.

The countdown to Christmas is on and there is much to think about and always much to do.

Now is the time to dust off your favourite Christmas recipes and plan your shopping list in preparation for baking mouth watering kourambiedes, honey dipped melamacarona, or your very own family specialities.  We would love for you to share your favourite traditional recipes with us.

It’s a special time of the year and one to share with family and friends. Our Christmas celebration is usually a large formal lunch and regardless of what else is on the menu we always start off with Chicken Avgolemono Soup. Our mother lovingly maintained this tradition and we have all taken her lead, and more often than not some of us enjoy a second bowl of this delicious traditional Greek soup!

Soup is followed by platters of fresh seafood garnished with lemon wedges, various meat roasts served with an abundance of vegetables and salads, and a selection of home made kourambiedes, melamacorona, revani, festive fruit cake and other yummy sweets.

Christmas lunch would not be complete without a bowl of dark, plump cherries and wedges of juicy watermelon and…. of course, the exchanging of gifts, and the joy of giving.

Whether your celebration is large or small, noisy or intimate, casual or formal, may your families be blessed with the true spirit of Christmas.
