In 1983, I was 20 and took 9-year-old Theo and my little cousins from California to see Flashdance at the Russell St Cinema. Can you tell I walked out wanting to be Jennifer Beals? What an iconic movie!

🙏🥔A memory came floating back during yoga today... and it reminded me just how sneaky diet culture can be.

Diet culture has always been around, but today, combined with parts of the "wellness" industry, it’s completely off the scale. Sometimes dangerous.

🍊🌀Greek Koulourakia round 1, was using Christine's recipe, and round 2 was using

Christine uses Mastiha, but you can easily swap it for brandy like Akis does. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either! ✨

This is such a perfect recipe to make with the young ones.....the raw dough is absolutely delicious 🤤 & easy to work with.

I don’t own a Mixmaster, so I used my Magimix with the dough attachment and it worked an absolute treat!

Catch the rest of my shenanigans in my stories đź‘€

🥖Confession: Until today, I was not a bread maker. But your amazing posts about traditional Greek Lagana inspired me to finally face my fears, again!

I practically snuck it into my daughter’s house, fully prepared to laugh at a baking disaster. Instead? Total success. Little Freddie spotted it instantly and it’s all he wanted!

To the wonderful cooks on line Kathy Tsaples Margaret Pahos & man, others, that educated me on Lagana recently, thank you.🙏 I actually ended up using the recipe by Souvlaki For The Soul

I've put his recipe link in the comments below👇

Lagana (λαγάνα) is a traditional Greek flatbread similar to focaccia.
