FAKES (TRADITIONAL GREEK LENTIL SOUP)
This is my mum's way for fakes. Its a very common soup, perfect for the cold days, tasty and very healthy! It can be made without any tomato but then oregano must be added. I always make it red (with tomato).

Steps:
- Boil one glass of water and add the lentils. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then drain the lentils. That way the soup is lighter!
- Put in the pot enough warm water and add the lentils. Put the onion, the bay leaves, the garlic and the tomato paste. Boil in high heat with the lid on for 10 minutes. Add the oil, salt and pepper to taste. Keep boiling for 30 minutes.

EV'S LENTIL SOUP (GREEK - FAKESS)
In honour of Mirjam. This soup is called Fakess (pronounced 'fahKESS') in Greek. It is very good. This belongs to that category of Greek cooking called 'Ladera' which, literally translated, means 'made of oil'. Olive oil is not just a fat, it is a key ingredient and flavour booster and is totally necessary. When my oldest son was turning 4 and I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner, this is what he ordered. I've given directions for both conventional cooking and crockpot - which I tried today. The pearl barley is not traditional, but we really like it. I think it's the aftermath of a Campbell's Beef with Vegetables and Barley fixation I had in the a long time ago.

Steps:
- In a large pot, cover lentils with boiling water and allow to boil for 10 minutes.
- Drain lentils of this 'first boiling' (greeks think that this process makes the lentils easier to digest - I prefer it).
- Put lentils back into pot.
- Add bulgar or barley (if using), onions, garlic, carrots, tomato paste, bay leaves, salt and pepper.
- Pour 2 ½ quarts of boiling water over lentils, bring to a boil.
- When mixture boils, decrease temperature to leave the lentils cooking at a simmer and cook, covered, for 1 ½ hours.
- Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar and simmer ½ an hour longer.
- Taste.
- If the lentils are still too firm to the bite, allow to cook until they are tender and soup has thickened (soup will continue to thicken as it cools).
- If the soup is too thick, you can thin with a little hot water.
- Traditionally, we eat this soup with lots of Kalamata olives, feta cheese and crusty bread.
- I serve half the soup on one day and freeze the other half (it freezes beautifully) to serve on another day when I'm too busy to cook.
- Crockpot Version: Put all the ingredients except for olive oil and balsamic vinegar into your crockpot.
- Cook on low for 7 hours.
- Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar and cook a further 2 hours.
- Ev's notes: You can enrich this already delicious soup by making a couple of variations. Add 1/2 lb of minced bacon, but cut back the olive oil to a couple of tablespoonfuls; or add 1 lb of sliced sausage, like Kielbasa. Again, cut back on the oil.
- New note: (added Dec. 27, 2004) I have taken to adding 1/2 cup bulgur wheat to this soup when I add all the other ingredients; it makes the soup more nutritionally complete if totally vegetarian, and really good and hearty; I strongly urge you try this version.
- Freezer Note: This makes quite a lot of soup - definitely enough for 2 meals (plus a little extra for the super-hungry) for my family of 5. I have taken to freezing half the batch to provide me with a quick, nutritious dinner further on down the line when time is short and you don't want to resort to ordering inches Just defrost in microwave, reheat well and serve.

- Frozen Dairy Desserts. The frozen dessert aisle is full of confusing claims, but it's important to note that many of the products masquerading as ice cream are not, at least according to USDA standards.
- Cheese Product. It will come as no surprise that Kraft singles, Cheez Whiz, and Velveeta evolved from cheese but are more a product of science than nature.
- Whipped Topping. Cool Whip is another slice of Americana. It's a convenient and low-cal alternative to whipped cream—but whipped cream it is not. Invented in the 1960s to hold its shape without melting, Cool Whip and others like it are called "whipped topping."
- Crème Filling. OREO cookies have been one of the best-selling cookies in the U.S. since they were invented in 1912, but the recipe has undergone some changes.
- Milk Alternatives. There are so many "milk" products in the dairy aisle including Lactaid, soy, almond, and—the latest—oat milk. But the head of the FDA recently announced that they'd be taking a closer look at the regulations for labeling nondairy products as milk.
- 100 Percent Real Grated Parmesan Cheese. By now, you've probably gotten wind that the 100 percent "real" grated Parmesan cheese you've been buying is probably far from that.
- Imitation Crab. Also known as imitation crab or crab stick, Krab is best known for being one of the primary ingredients in a California sushi roll. But there's nothing crabby about it (and in fact, it can't be labeled as crab stick in some places for that reason).
- Filet Mignon. Speaking of meat glue… Next time you shell out the big bucks for filet mignon in a restaurant keep in mind that you may actually be eating a bunch of lesser cuts that are bound together.
- Imitation Vanilla. While real vanilla extract is made by soaking expensive vanilla pods in alcohol, many products you'll find in the grocery store are actually imitation vanilla.
- Maple Flavored Syrup. Next time you reach for maple syrup, take a closer look at the packaging. There's a reason that most nationally recognized brands of pancake syrup—think Aunt Jemima, Mrs. Butterworth's, and Log Cabin—don't mention maple on their label and instead say "original syrup."
