This makes a powerful bottle of oil to enliven fresh vegetables of all kinds. I used it on some sweet ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. I'm dreaming of making a pizza and drizzling this oil on top to fool the anchovy haters. I'll bet they lick their lips and ask for more. Great recipe Evelyn, as always. -
Made this up today, and tested it out already on a slice of baquette... mmm can't wait to use it on some vege's. I did not use EVVO since I like the full flavor of the regular olive oil, but the anchovy flavor with the pepper have already started infusing into the oil. Will use this recipe again it is soooo darned easy.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
