Key Lime Pie – one of the tastiest refreshing desserts in general. However, it could ring the bell only for Americans. In recent years it became popular around the globe, but rarely anybody knows the difference between Key limes and Persian limes. I’ll write more about this a bit later. In this particular post, I wanted…
Walnuts play a major role in the nutrition of all eastern European nations. For Greeks, walnuts have been one of those foods that were considered worthy of Gods. As I already wrote, fatty food was recognised as divine in the antiquity. Ancient Greeks knew of the enormous energy and health benefits of walnuts. From the old…
Kebab – meat on a stick, right? Well, not exactly in every country. If you have ever visited Greece, you know that ground meat on a stick or skewer is called Kebab here! They might call it differently in other countries, but in Greece, you’ll get served with a portion of tasty grilled ground meat…
So, my noble Ketonians, let’s continue the saga of Greek Keto cakes. This time, I wanted to treat you with something oriental and very Mediterranean. A Greek-Egyptian cake called Ravani or Basbousa. Interestingly, Egypt influenced the culture of ancient and modern Greeks on so many levels. Last week, my wife and I spent a couple…
Whenever I get asked by clients, can they have keto cake every day, I always reply with a big Yes!? But, wait, not just any Keto cake. The Keto cake they ask about has to be made with nutrient-dense ingredients. This is why I always point out, a cake is not a Keto cake if…

Some call it Zero-carb diet, or animal diet. In general, it’s an approach to dieting that reflects the habits and eating patterns of prehistoric humans. Carnivores eat predominantly…
Almost everybody is fascinated with ancient Greek culture. It’s all around us, wherever you go. For example, I studied sports science and nutrition – imagine how many Greek terms I had to use every day, even though I was studying in English. In anatomy, biochemistry, medicine, gastronomy – everywhere! As I am writing from the…
All the Ketonians know, if you want to do a healthy Keto, you need to eat 7 to 10 cups of vegetables a day. Those vegetables that grow above the ground are not carby! This is a sentence I’ve heard so many times and couldn’t agree more. Well, they are carby, but in most of…
How about an adventure of making Keto Lamington cake? Just recently, I’ve learned that Greeks are the seventh largest ethnic group in Australia. When Australian tourist come to Greece, they keep ordering Greek food as if they’ve been living in Greece. They pronounce “Souvlaki”, “Tiropita”, or “Gyros” almost like we do! The answer to this phenomena…
