Cypriot chef Tonia Buxton brought along some Cyprian delights to reacquaint Paul with his Cyprian past on today’s Paul Hollywood Pies and Puds.

Tonia Buxton is not only a chef, she is a television presenter and author, and host of the Discovery Channel Travel & Living show My Greek Kitchen.

Paul lived in Cyprus for over 6 years but one dish he did not learn how to bake was a Flaounes.

Flaounes have been made in Cyprus for a very long time and serve as a celebratory food for the breaking of the lenten fast. They are traditionally prepared over the Easter period and are normally eaten in place of bread on Easter Sunday.

Today Paul and Tonia teamed up to make one of Paul’s favourites Cyprian delights, and this was the result:

Paul and Tonia also made a raised pork and egg pie with a Cypriot twist by using Loukanika from Cyprus.
