Easy Hot & Spicy Tuna Dip

Hey hey everyone, it has been a packed week of things that needed to be done, and I can now say I am done. 🙂 So happy that it’s Friday to be honest, I am looking forward to the weekend.  One thing I am most looking forward to is watching a whole bunch of TENNIS!!  Tennis Season has begun and I am very excited,  the AO (Australian Open) is on a completely different time zone from where I am at on this planet, so I get up quite early to watch Tennis. 🙂

The weather has been quite cold here, we need something spicy!!  What could be better to munch on than a nice homemade dip with crackers.  This is a simple dip if you love Tuna, and really a great party appetiser, actually this dip is usually the one everyone finishes off first.  (I guess it must be the hot & spicy part)  I was tempted in adding in some Hot Pepper Flakes but then I thought that it’s too much. Could you imagine Chilli and Pepper Flakes..Wow!! what a combination.

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
