Winter cup

This fruity non-alcoholic mulled wine is brimming with citrus and spice, and perfect for winter parties. I’ve used a mix of English breakfast tea and pomegranate juice in this version. The tea is steeped for 20 minutes, giving it a robust tannic flavour. Combined with tart pomegranate juice, it makes a rich, gutsy stand-in for red wine

Egg muffins

In Greece and Cyprus we often cook seasonal vegetables ‘me avga’, which is to simply cook them and then finish by scrambling through eggs. You will find everything from tomatoes to potatoes, courgettes to asparagus. So whilst strapatsada may look and feel like a breakfast dish, it is in fact eaten at all times of day, and is even eaten cold. It can be eaten as a light meal or as part of a meze, however being tomato based, I feel like strapatsada lends itself to being a great brunch dish too. Serve as is with toasted pita, or as part of a larger spread with olives, cucumber batons, radishes and grilled loukaniko (a spiced Greek sausage).
