Spinach rice may not be a trendy or exotic name for a dish, in fact it sounds a little plain, but believe me, it's NOT plain at all. It's super healthy, delicious and quick! Did l mention that's it's a vegetarian dish too? Don't forget to add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end! It will really make all the flavours pop!

An easy Greek pita bread recipe made from scratch. All you do is make a simple dough, let it rise, roll it out and cook it on the stove for a couple of minutes on each side. What you'll have is a pita bread that's soft, pliable and perfect for using as a wrap for your favourite filling. Chicken souvlaki perhaps?

"Cooking is all about taste and imagination." Welcome! My name is Danielle and I am the author, photographer and cook of Flavours of Home. I have introduced my blog with a quote from my mother, as she has been my greatest influence when it comes to food and cooking. I remember how frustrated she’d get when l’d try to pin her down to exact measurements. For her that wasn’t the point. Cooking was much more than grams, pounds or tablespoons. It was all about taste and a bit of imagination.
