Marrow
A blog detailing my love for plant-based food and photography as well as a simpler island life closer to nature
A Mediterranean island but far from a Mediterranean diet & lifestyle. This page offers health tips on the various foods we can eat to better our health & become more aware of the choices we make as consumers.
CAROB SYRUP
An indispensable ingredient in my kitchen
Known mostly as a remedy for coughs - I started experimenting with adding it to food after a to Cyprus where it was added to everything!
I love making it because it’s not only an ingredient I don’t live without but because it’s fundamental to upholding our cuisine - I always think about the amount of times throughout the decades, this was made and I get emotional thinking that I’m keeping this tradition alive.
If you would like the recipe just send me a private message- I’m happy to share - traditionally carobs are meant to be picked before the first rain so hurry up!
If you don’t have time to make it I have left some jars to be sold
Love

A week of living the real Mediterranean island life. Travelling and exploring the islands was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life and I’m beyond grateful for all the friends I’ve made along the way
Much love

Remembering one of the biggest souls and forces of love I’ve met on my travels.
We didn’t speak a common language we always managed to communicate well - mostly in the kitchen which is kind of a universal language. Love was always in the kitchen - the secret ingredient and I can’t believe I will never physically see you again.
Eleni I will cherish forever the memories and the life lessons you gave me - your smile, your dancing and your deep love for nature
On the 15th of June I wanted to send you this message but I forgot - now I’m sure you will see it from heaven. Teaching me how to fill zucchini flowers is one of my fondest moments with you and this photo is all for you!

SPRING at DAR IR-RUMMIENA
Marrows, broad beans, lemons, herbs,sheeps milk & strawberries
As usual I’m taking the opportunity to thank you all for your support and giving me the necessity to push my creativity
I’ve had so many discussions about food with my guests these past 3 months and it is inspiring to see people questioning more and more what is inside the food out there.
The reality is that we cannot rely on what is out there and the messages being sold - large companies and producers don’t necessarily have our good health at heart - businesses are there to make money and provide a “service” but FOOD is not a service, it is not a commodity FOOD is life FOOD is power and FOOD is love. I love people telling me how good they felt after eating my food, even though they ate a lot they don’t feel sluggish but nourished.
There has never been a time like this in human history where we are constantly bombarded with ‘food’ or food like items I like to call them. Supermarkets everywhere, billboards, adverts, takeaway services all trying to lure us into a vicious cycle of constant consumption but ultimately the final say is in your hands. Don’t wait to be educated, educate yourself - the information is out there and there are hundreds of local producers who deserve your support, they hold great power even though everything around tries to diminish it!
