Whether it’s white, dark, milk, heart-shaped, spicy or bitter, the many flavours and aromas of chocolate add a touch of extravagance to just about anything. It elevates even the finest of desserts and, when served with a glass of port, is the perfect end to a meal. Chocolate is recognised not only for its antioxidant properties, but also for its powers as an aphrodisiac. Although some studies question the effectiveness of aphrodisiac foods, suggesting they have no more than a placebo effect, chocolate remains a sensual, carnal food that tantalizes epicureans of every age.

Here it’s a classic French dessert – Coeur à la crème - typically made with cream cheese, mascarpone, cream and a little powdered sugar.  By substituting 0% Plain Greek Yogurt for the mascarpone, you end up with a much lighter dessert with a smoother texture and all the flavour of the original.  You can use any fruit coulis, sauce or even jam that you like. Or, you know, if you're feeling decadent, you can always serve it with a hot chocolate sauce, or even caramel.  It's a very versatile dessert in terms of toppings and because it is so plain and not too sweet, you can dress it up or down as you please.

Greek salad is all the rage! In fact, it’s a great healthy choice, since it contains different vegetables, olive oil, feta cheese and delicious Kalamata olives. A Greek salad is also colourful and rich in antioxidants. The Mediterranean diet is known for its cardiovascular health benefits, so be sure to make the most of regional recipes. The basics of the olive oil-based Mediterranean diet include tons of vegetables, legumes, little red meat, a lot of fish.

High in fibre (7 grams) and protein (17 grams), this breakfast parfait will keep you going until lunch.The lipids contained in the recipe are essentially from the walnuts, which are a source of heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats. Greek yogurt provides many health benefits. It’s a very high source of protein and it’s fat free.

Our fruitcake-inspired sweet holiday dip melds the flavours of nutmeg, vanilla, orange and coconut. Blended with creamy Liberté Méditerranée plain yogurt, the dip goes wonderfully with fruit skewers. You can also spoon it onto slices of fruitcake for a perfect pairing. If you have any left over at the end of the night, you’ll be licking your fingers to get to the end of the bowl!
