Food Notes

My vegetarian version of magiritsa, the traditional Greek soup served on Holy Saturday night: brown mushrooms, shitake, porcini, spring onions, garlic, fresh dill, coriander, flat leaf parsley, lemon zest, egg-lemon sauce.

Music Pairing

“Christos anesti/Christ has risen” (hymn) performed by Sister Marie Keyrouz.

Music Bites

Sister Marie Keyrouz (1963-) has been numbered among the greatest Lebanese voices capturing the attention of Western and Eastern audiences. “She reveals as a composer and a mystic poet as well as a brilliant performer. She is a chantress displaying imaginative excellence and control, combined with quite extraordinary fluency.” (Gramophone Magazine)
