Frappe (φραπέ, say: frah-PEH) is a Greek favorite, especially in hot weather. It's easy to make using instant coffee (decaf or full octane), and while it can be whipped, the traditional version is shaken ... never stirred.
These delicious small pancakes are often served as dessert, but can be easily adapted to breakfast or brunch. Made without milk or eggs, they are slightly crunchy.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve with your favorite fresh fruit for a tasty treat over the holiday weekend.

I am a cheese lover. I eat cheese with every meal. It's one of the reasons I have strong nails and teeth, and undoubtedly contributes to the fact that I never seem to be able to diet. And this fabulous 5-Cheese Pie with Mushrooms is high on my Hit Parade.
The cheeses and mushrooms are enclosed in phyllo dough and baked to perfection. Cut in large squares, it serves eight as a snack, and - like other Greek phyllo pies (pites) - it really shines when cut into smaller pieces and served as a party food.
