The Seasoned Scoop

MARCH 2026 | EDITION 7

As we embrace 2026, we find ourselves amazed at how quickly time flies. It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of March! With Easter just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the season of renewal and joy (or should we say more cooking and eating hahaha).

Although our Summer season has officially ended and Autumn has begun, many of us might feel like Summer is still lingering thanks to the warm temperatures. Regardless of the heat, we’re excited to welcome the beauty of Autumn as the leaves change around us and the cool breeze comes through. It is truly my favourite season.

You may have noticed that our social media feeds have recently been filled with more of our favourite throwback moments. While we enjoy reminiscing and sharing our past highlights with you, we want to assure you that there are new and exciting developments happening behind the scenes.

Watch this space collaboration with Meli Candles

We are thrilled to have worked together with another local South Australian business and fellow maker who draws on their Greek heritage: Meli Candles!

If you haven’t tried a candle from Meli Candles yet, we highly recommend you do. Each scent is inspired in some way by the spirit and memories of Greece – such as Livani, Pappou’s Garden, Sweet Frappe, Sour Cherry, or Melamakarona.

Christina has crafted five stunning scents that shape the season: sweet breads, a crackling fire, herbal teas poured with care, and chestnuts roasting in village squares.
– Tsoureki: Buttery, comforting and sweet
– Roasted Chestnut: Warm, spiced and spiced
– Mountain Tea: Clean, grounding and serene
– Winter in Greece: Smoky, intoxicating and earthy
– Light from Light: Purity, warmth, and sacred simplicity.

MOTHER’S DAY COMING UP SOON, REPLACE A JAR WITH A CANDLE

✝️ Easter 🐣

Pascha (Easter, Πάσχα) is the most significant religious celebration for Greek Orthodox Christians. Involving Great Lent, Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Midnight service, all leading to Easter Sunday. As part of it, we have a friendly ‘competition’ called Tsougrisma where each person tries to crack the other’s red dyed egg. The ‘winner’ at the end keeps their egg, and has good fortune for the year ahead.

It’s also when we usually enjoy a lamb on the spit–we used to use Pappou’s original blend which he stored in a Greek coffee jar but we now have The Salty Greek blend easily available in a pouch!

Stuck on ideas for Lent?

We've got you: here are 7 nourishing vegan recipes we’ve prepared especially for Holy Week, which is the final week of Lent and when most people fast but often struggle with ideas for keeping the family happy.

1 Mixed Greens Filo Pie

It’s time to clear your fridge out, and get more veggies in your meal. A versatile recipe that can use any greens, this comes together in one pan, making the cooking and cleaning process a breeze.

2 Greek Lemony Potatoes

These Greek lemony potatoes are of our signature dishes that is also featured on the recipe cards that come with each order. An iconic, one pan wonder – this humble recipe delivers on flavour that

3 Roast Beetroot Parcels

Growing up with canned, diced and sliced beetroot, we heard how many people prepare it from scratch and realised it truly isn’t so intimidating.

4 Marinaded Greek Tofu

Think of tofu as a blank canvas. It needs seasoning to give it flavour, otherwise it’s incredibly bland (and boring!). Marinading overnight infuses the flavour right to the centre, so every bite taste

5 Artichoke & Herb Pasta

This light and fresh pasta dish comes together in 15 minutes, and can be served cold or warm. The best part is you can use the ‘sauce’ as a dip as well, so it’s like two recipes in one!

6 Roasted Fennel with Orange

A tantalising mixture of textures and flavours – sweet, nutty, bright and earthy. This fennel and orange salad is the perfect base for weekday lunches because it stays so fresh in the fridge.

7 Whole-Roasted Cauliflower

The perfect vegan alternative to a roast – it couldn’t be any simpler or more delicious, and is perfect for leftovers.
