Attention Fellow Foodies :)

With the addition of ads finally to my website from October and onwards according to what feasible revenue i get i am going to commence small competitions with prizes such as cookboos as a reward but of course for this to happen i am going to need your help.Whenever you have the chance to view my blog if you could just simply click on one of the ads either on the side bar or the top of my blog it would mean a lot as each click only takes a few seconds of your time and a couple of pennies go towards bettering this site and giving me access to more produce for the recipes and ideas i come up with, cause after all i am a student on a student's budget and it would mean a lot if you could help me and my blog out by doing this.  One final request is that you become part of this blog more actively be giving me comments on my ideas and recipes and by subscribing so that we can start building up a small network of fellow foodies. Thank you so much for all your support and views on my blog so far and expect more to come very soon as i try to update my blog on a daily basis.So keep calm and keep on munching people! :) (here's a hint of what will be coming soon in October :) )

Souvla- The essence of Cypriot Food

This is by far the most popular meat dish in the cypriot cuisine. Various parts of the lamb are passed through massive skewers and are left to grill over a barbecue grill which is affectionately called the foukou on the island of cyprus(cypriot word is derived from the greek word of fire which is fotia). This is the most commonly eaten food on the island of Cyprus and it plays a huge role in the Greek-Cypriots’s lives as it is eaten at times of celebration whether that is on someone’s birthday, on christmas and most importantly on Easter Sunday after the end of the Greek Orthodox’s fast.

Introduction

My name is Alex Cleary and ever since i ve started watching cooking shows such as Top Chef, Top Chef Masters and especially the Gordon Ramsay ones like the F word and Masterchef i wanted to have my own little input in the culinary world. In this blog i will be posting many recipes i attempt to cook and also will try to make student budget versions of recipes that require at least paid job to make while trying to retain the same great flavour they originally promised.
