Strolling the Streets of Athens in 35 degree heat, we stumbled across the Fresh food Markets located just a 10 minute walk from the city centre. It was foodie heaven, old greek men yelling at us trying to sell their finest pieces of meat as well as “perving” whilst we walked by wearing red lipstick.
We picked up two pieces of pork loin, kefalotyri cheese, a selection of greek spices and a big bag of salad ingredients.

The aromas from this cake take us back to mum’s kitchen on a Sunday morning. We were always celebrating someones birthday or christening, so this was one of mum’s favourite cakes to bake for the occasion. This cake is moist, sweet and has a good amount of spice! Enjoy with a cup of Chai latte.
There’s nothing better than freshly cooked scrambled eggs wrapped in bread. We love making breakfast burritos on a Saturday morning for our friends- it’s super easy and quick! Eggs are high in protein so you will be feeling energize and ready to start your day. Don’t forget to pair this delicious burrito with a freshly squeezed orange juice.
This salad is perfect when you have leftover roasted veggies and need to whip up a quick dinner or lunch. We also like adding slow-cooked lamb shoulder into this salad (you can find our lamb recipe in our cookbook “Taking You Home”). We hope you enjoy our roasted pumpkin and cauliflower quinoa salad, don’t forget to tag #helenaandvikki on instagram so we can see all the delicious recipes you create from Taking you Two and Taking you home cookbook.

Our special Anzac treats!
Hot cakes have a special place in our heart! They take us back to being a kid, rainy Sunday mornings, eating our Ricotta hot cakes watching TV hits. Great memories! Our Ricotta hot cakes are the perfect go to Sunday brunch recipe. Your family and friends will love them.
When we were growing up, Our father Nick (Grandma Helen would call him “Nicholas”) used to own a fishing boat, a very old school one- it was nothing too fancy. There was enough room for us and mum. On the weekend dad would ask who would like to join him for a ride on the boat, “NO thanks” said Helena. “YES please” said Vikki. Helena wasn’t a massive fan of the ocean and barely went into the water. Still to this day, she avoids the water. You will find her on a beach bed- sun baking and drinking watermelon mojitos.
This recipe is in memory of our father.
A very simple and super healthy salad made with vibrant summer ingredients. We love visiting the Sydney Fish markets on a early Saturday morning and purchasing the freshest caught tuna. Our last visit we were lucky enough to meet Tony one of the Fish mongers at NICHOLAS SEAFOODS. Tony showed us how to fillet a tuna (the BIGGEST tuna ever been caught ) you can watch this on our YouTube channel Taking You Two- Episode 1 – Sydney Fish Markets
We have added sumac to the dry mix, the tangy lemony flavour works well with the tuna, when combined with the crisp radish and sweet grapefruit its a match made in salad heaven. Enjoy with a glass of Alpha Malagouzia Single Vineyard Turtles.
