Ta Vanilenia

Today we will make a recipe that has a history of over a century. The recipe, which as you will see from the photos, Mrs. Evangelia learned from her mother Sofia Polychronidou (1895 - 1955), the genus HatziTraganou.

My great-grandfather was called Traganos, but in those old years, if someone has gone to Jerusalem they put the prefix Hatzis in his surname, so Hatzi-Traganos.

It is a simple, healthy and beautiful recipe that will excite you if you try it.
