Behind The Greek Apron Podcast

Written by Published on Updated on March 18, 2021 in Monthly Notes

Hey there foodies friends,

Ok, so we finally did it our first episode of Behind The Greek Apron Podcast has been uploaded.

I would like to thank Krystina from @kouzounaskitchen who invited me to come along on this adventure.  I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would ever be a part of a podcast let alone with Krystina.

When I first started out as a blogger I was researching Greek Food Bloggers and the first blog that I discovered was https://kouzounaskitchen.com/ I thought she had a beautiful blog, (and still does) with so many wonderful recipes, stories, virtual tours.  I also read Krystina’s about page and was surprised to read that she is a Professional Chef.

Who would have known that from just following a Food Blogger/Chef that a few years later Krystina would be a dear friend?  Life!!

If you would like to listen to the first episode of “Behind The Greek Apron”  on the following platforms:

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
