Greeks Bearing Gifts

The EasternMax family may be of Anglo-Celtic heritage but we are a bit partial to Greek Sweets. In particular we love Koulourakia (in our house we just call them Greek Biscuits). Traditionally made for Greek Easter these biscuits are neither hard nor soft and have just a touch of sweetness - perfect with a cup of tea.



Yesterday, on our way back to Sydney from Melbourne, the kids and I met up with Domestic Goddess, and her kids in Goulburn for lunch. They are currently visiting their (Greek) grandparents in Canberra. I was thrilled that Domestic Goddess's mum (Yia Yia) had been baking and was there to hand over this bag of Greek Biscuits:

See how the Koulourakia are wrapped up with ribbon? We Skips would hand biscuits over on a plate - and then ask for the plate back.

The EasternMax family doesn't beware Greeks bearing gifts - we open our arms wide and wait impatiently for the next visit.
