 Secret Greek Cookies Although I am not a specialist like out friend, Dr.Bond, I sensed desperation in his post about surveys and statistics… Greeks although they come second in this survey,are generous people so I decided to reveal some of our national secret cookie recipes that guarantee the access to the heart of your loved ones. The fun in these cookies is in the preparation. These are serious recipes that I have prepared more than once. Boiled (Scalded) Cookies. These lovely cookies are prepared in three stages. You can just bake them without boiling them but you will lose much of the flavor. In my country, these cookies are considered old recipe. Before 1800. Children love them  Ingredients I kilo of white flour Starter for a kilo of flour 350gr of sugar 180ml extra virgin olive oil 1pintch of salt ¼ pf tea spoon cinnamon 300 gr boiled and strained sesame some tepid water. Day 1. The first day you place the starter with the 1/3 of the quantity if the flour, 1/3 of the quantity if the olive oil and 1/3 of the quantity of the sugar and you knead a soft dough. Day two. Y ou place over your dough the other 1/3 of your ingredients. Knead the dough and leave it to rest , covered until next morning. Day three. Place the final 1/3 + the sugar + the cinnamon and knead it. With the help of the tepid water, you should make a smooth and elastic dough. Make your cookies , place them on the pan but not so close the one to another, cover them and leave them to fluff. When they are ready, bring a casserole of water to boil and place in the water a couple of your cookies. IF they are ready (Fluffy enough) they will come to the surface of the boiling water. Remove them from the boiling water and place them in the bowl with the sesame. You must boil and drain the sesame in advance. This is the tip to keep it on the cookie. Push the sesame with your hands and place them on the pan. Bake them in preheated oven in 200oC Enjoy them. Greek pancakes on the Marble for a romantic evening for two… If you have already enough romantic dinners for two with champagne and salmon, it’s time to refresh your repertoire! This ancient recipe is perfect for cold snowy nights in front of the fireplace, because you need a fireplace and a piece of Marble Ingredients. 500gr of flour ½ teaspoon of salt 2tbss of starter Tepid water Cinnamon Honey Before you start preparing your dough, place your piece of marble in the fireplace because it needs some time to get warm Prepare a hasty pudding with the flour, the salt and he starter. Stir and add as much water, as it needs in order to be smooth and leave it in a warm place to rest for 1-2 hours. When it’s ready spill a spoon of this dough on the marble. Turn it over and when it’s baked remove it and put some cinnamon and honey!! I assure you that the whole procedure is very pleasant and you can spend the whole evening like this! BUT as the original Athenaeus would say, before you start dinning you must have a really good scheme in your mind about what will happen next, in order to control your self and do not eat much. It’s up to you! I don’t know what beverage may escort this, maybe a port or marshala wine. Any suggestions?. Dear Bond I wish you luck. I gave you all the Greek secrets , it’s up to you now!

| Athenaeus This sounds lovely but you lost me on the starter (I'm in bad shape and can't think straight so maybe I am missing something...). Do you make a starter with 1/3 of the flour and the other ingredients (but not the water)?? Or am I missing something?
