Tomato, capers and xinomizithra=summer
…at least for me, even when I ’m eating this classic Aegean combination in the heart of December!
As the temperature in the islands is going up gradually, I decided to compose my personal Ode to Summer, by having a tomato, capers and xinomizithra brunch at the balcony.
I try to create the perfect bite, combining a little bit of all the ingredients on top of a piece of black homemade bread, aromatized with anise. Using great local products, is all there is to know about this simple dish. I love it!
Which food combination makes you think of summer?

During summer when I eat I would like to
have lot of sun,
definately cold bear and ouzo,
fresh fish and greek salad with local cheese (ksinomizithra)
Fried aubergines with tomato sauce and feta cheese…
This was what my grandmother was preparing for us when we were coming back from the sea. Tasty memories from Kalamata.
Perfect image !
Stuffed tomatoes and feta cheese!
