Hellooo,

I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter holiday filled with love, laughter, and delicious food! Because, let’s be honest, when family and friends come together, what’s always at the center of it all? Good food, good vibes, and maybe a tempting dessert or two. Speaking of desserts, let’s talk about these Brandy Infused Strawberries.  These are juicy, sweet, and soaked with just the right amount of brandy, which gives a balance of flavor. It’s one of those treats that feels fancy without even trying.

There’s just something so effortlessly elegant about strawberries soaked in brandy. But truth be told, this treat is so simple, it practically makes itself.  I first made these one evening many, many years ago, when I had some extra strawberries and a tiny bit of brandy left (you know which one, the one you keep meaning to toss it, but something says “nah, keep it for cooking”). I ended up using it to make these delicious infused strawberries.

The strawberries soak up all the warmth and sweetness of the brandy, while still keeping their juicy bite.  I like to toss in just a touch of sugar… okay, maybe a bit more than just a touch—and maybe a little more than just a splash of brandy too. 😄 What can I say? I like my desserts with a lot of flavor! Let them marinate for a few hours, or even overnight if you’ve got the patience (which I rarely do). I soaked these for 20 minutes, no patience, remember.

Here’s what I love most about strawberries: You can spoon them over Greek yogurt or ice cream, or layer them into a parfait with a crumble of biscuits and whipped cream.  Sound yummy?? or even serve them in a little glass bowl with a mint and poof, a gourmet dessert is born.  I didn’t have any mint on hand, so I threw in a little parsley instead to give it that fresh green vibe. It’s not traditional, but it worked just fine!

These simple Brandy Infused Strawberries are a delicious after-dinner dessert.  Got some strawberries in your fridge or thinking about picking some up?  Try out this dessert, or sprinkle a few of these infused strawberries over Greek yogurt, now that’s seriously so good!  A delicious, simple, elegant dessert that is also a party pleasure, bursting with flavor.

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening, everyone!

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
