To my dear visitors and followers...

I'd like to apologize for my lack of posting, as I was on vacation! I will be away yet again for the next couple of days, but I promise to be back with many new posts to share with you all!

Check mate!

A few years back I remember when the checked prints were almost everywhere. Guess what? It is back again, however this time with a little more class and much more playful! They are everywhere from shoes, bags, pants and coats. It somehow reminds me of a school girl uniform, and screams "autumn" to me. However maybe that is because I am starting university very soon again?
 Here are some of my favorite pieces I found on net-a-porter :

Fifty shades..

Summer is the perfect occasion to start a new book! You are much more relaxed, with less obligations and have more time in your hands. Nothing makes time go faster while you tan with a great book in your hands! A few months ago a friend recommended to me that I read Fifty shades of grey, I ordered it through amazon and as soon as summer started I began to read it. I completely fell in love with it and directly purchased the next two parts!  It is one of the new york time's best sellers, sold more then 40 million copies world wide! I will admit, that when I first started reading it, I thought it was a little too intense for my taste and did not really know what all the fuss was about on this book. However I forced myself to finish the first book, and it only got interesting for me towards the last few chapters. Each book is better then the other. So, for those of you who are looking for a book you simply cannot put down, I highly recommend this trio. The story is about a college student who meets a successful business man, and their crazy love life. I won't go much further as I do not want to ruin it for those of you who plan to read it. 

Zucchini Borek

Why not substitute you afternoon tea time with more of a salty snack, rather then something sweet. This recipe is perfect for those of you who do not have much of a sweet tooth, It is filling and somewhat healthy compared to all the other ready made salty snacks you find in the super market, and the best part of all is that it is simple to make! This recipe can be made with different ingredients such a spinage, cheese and meat however my favorite is mixing zucchini and feta cheese together.

In order to make this dish you will need:

5 pieces of zucchinis

feta cheese

salt

pepper

ready made pastry

4 spoons olive oil

half a cup of natural yogurt

1 cup of milk

1 egg

Instructions:

Peel the zucchini and in an empty bowl, grind it all, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the zucchini and mix it. 

As the Zucchini absorbs the salt and pepper, in a different bowl break and egg, add the half cup of yogurt, 4 spoons of olive oil, the cup of milk and whisk it for 2-3 minutes.

Next you will take out the oven pan where you will cook your borek in. With a brush, add some olive oil to the surface of the pan to avoid your pastry from sticking to your pan.

Go back to your squash mixture and add some feta cheese. The amount does not matter, I love cheese so I tend to add a lot. Make sure you mix it perfectly.

 On the pan, add the first layer of pastry, and with a brush add a tiny bit of the liquid mixture and brush through and add the next layer of pasty. I recommend at least 3-4 layers of pasty as it will make up the crust. Next add your zucchini mix, spread it all over. I would say not too thick nor too thin. Finish it off by adding the next 3-4 layers of pastry, in the exact same process you did for the crust. 

Finally add your borek to the oven in 120 degrees Celsius and let it cook for an hour. Once your borek is ready I suggest you leave it out for 20 minutes before you serve it.

And voila! your snack is ready.
