Savoury Cake

Did anybody say cake? We all love cake, a slice of our favourite cake with a cup of coffee or tea makes life tastes a lot better.

However, cake doesn’t always have to be sweet, it can also be savoury and still can be enjoyed with coffee or tea for breakfast or a snack.




Ingredients:

4 large eggs
250 mils milk
200 mils sunflower or corn oil
1 red pepper diced finely
1 green pepper diced finely
2 spring onion diced finely
2 tomatoes pealed and diced same size as the peppers
2 potatoes grated
Salt to taste (I usually add one teaspoon)
Pepper to taste
Oregano about half a spoon
400 gms sifted flour
20 gms baking powder
300 gms feta cheese crumbled

Method
After grating the potatoes squeeze them very well to get rid of the water
In a bowl add the grated potatoes and all the diced vegetables and mix them really well
Beat the eggs and add them to the mixture stirring well
Add the remaining ingredients and make sure everything is well mixed together
Oil a 30 cm oven dish
Pour the mixture and bake at a pre heated 180 degrees oven for 45 minutes

Enjoy it with your loved ones for breakfast or afternoon tea.

Who is speaking?

I am Nina, a global banker by profession and a cook by passion.  I moved to Crete from London almost 5 years ago and never looked back.  My background is extremely mixed, I am Greek, Egyptian, Lebanese and Armenian. Wow ! What a mix I always think, hence it is not strange that I love food and I love to cook.

On Finding The Recipe Of Happiness And What Conscious Crete Is All About

  I have been involved with this community for around 9 months now…just enough time to give birth if this was a baby. A project like Conscious Crete is in many ways very much like having a baby: the intensity of it, the novelty, the not really knowing what to do. The only difference (or maybe not really the only one!) is that when you have a baby there are only two possible answers to the question what is it? A boy? Or a girl? I wish the answer to what Conscious Crete is all about was as simple and binary as the one above. It is not…yet I will try to bring some light into the matter. Conscious Crete is more than a Facebook Group There is no doubt in my mind that Conscious Crete is much bigger a project than a Facebook Group. Yet, for many people this statement is not clear as they tend to see only the tip of the iceberg. The Facebook Group is a very useful platform to gather likeminded people and keep them informed of the activities of the community and not a purpose in...

Although in today’s Western society, the main focus of yoga is on its physical postures, it is through looking at the ancient yogic scriptures that we can better understand the mechanisms of stress and how yoga can h elp.   Is Yoga only about postures? The Sanskrit root of yoga is ‘yuk’ meaning to ‘yoke’, or unite. Essentially, yoga describes union. The union of the body, mind and soul.  Through this union, the yogi can see their true self, and unite with the truth of the universe. Through this union, the mind is calm. Rather than focusing solely on what happens on the yoga mat, the yogic wisdom invites us to explore how we interact with the world around us.  As it is from this interaction that stress arises, observing how we do it is often the first step towards a balanced life. ...
