It`s like Christmas in a bottle. I just put it together and will be back to review it in a week or two. OK I`m back and it is delish. The flavors are very light but nice. Thanks. -
What a great recipe! I had rosemary I needed to use, so gave it a try. Love the scent the rosemary gives this olive oil. I'm giving for gifts the Christmas, as well. Thank you! -
Really love this fruity olive oil with the fresh rosemary (homegrown) and pink peppercorns. It's so pretty! I made a couple batches and will gift to my friends family and neighbors this year, for Christmas. Thanks for sharing, Evelyn! -
I'm making a couple of these for Christmas baskets and one for myself to use with roasted garlic potatoes. The jars are so festive and lovely. Very happy to have found this recipe! [Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup] -
Made this for Think Pink 2011 after seeing the pictures of Rita`'s post...beautiful. I am waiting for the flavors to meld so I will be back but am soooo glad Rita` says it is delish. There are so many uses for this I am getting excited...plus so easy to put together. Will make for wonderful Christmas gifts or even a housewarming gift. I am back (forgot to post the finished review) and I am making more of this for a few Christmas gifts. This has a light taste of the peppercorns and rosemary...very tasty. Thank you for posting.

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.
