I was introduced to Halloumi cheese while in England last year, and since then I slice the cheese, and pan fry them to add to my Mediterranean salad. Bottom line is that I love pan-fried cheese. So, you can imagine my excitement over this recipe, with Feta instead, but I still prefer Halloumi so that’s the approach I will be taking…

On another note – have you seen Never Stop Never Stopping – for those who often wonder the lifestyle of a pop-star. This film is a documentary style of a story so familiar to those interested in fame and not so much.
