We were visiting Nicosia over Fatherβs Day and the hotel did these Fathers Day cupcakes with bright blue icing. The day after I got a surprise when I went to the loo.

Honestly Lloyd, your recipes, along with pictorial evidence are fabulous. Thank you.
My eldest son has started 'hand writing' some of his/My favourite recipes in a wee book along with the tweeks and tips I have passed on.
My Mother worked in Service as a young girl, where she was taught to mix the LIGHTEST of sponges with her bare hands (no whisk, far less an electric one!). I just feel it is so important to pass on what I have learned from her. . . . . to him as he has such an interest in cooking and baking.
I still have my Mothers threadbare, flour and cinnamon covered, butter soaked pages which I often refer to and I sincerely hope you pass your favourites on to your young uns.
In fact, I reckon you should publish a dinky little paper back recipe book (like a Bero one) just for the Expats who will ACTUALLY be able to cook something authentically Cypriot.
I still treasure my time working at George's Garden Centre in Timi where Androulla taught me how to make Koypepia (Stuffed Vine Leaves), and a whole host of other Cypriot/Greek delights. You just cannot beat that experience. I struggle sometimes to get the perfect ingredients but, have also learned to adapt as I go along.
Again. Thank you for posting.
