Feta Cheese in Olive Oil and Herbs

Written by Published on Updated on September 23, 2019 in Appetizers

Hey there foodie friends,

The weather has been treating us so goood.  We have been having days with sunshine and warm weather. Soup season should have already started here but I think its going to be delayed for a few more weeks.  🙂  We are still spending our days outside, walking around and enjoying a cup of coffee at our local neighborhood cafes.  Sure, we do need to wear a light jacket early in the morning or late and night but during the day uhhhh just fabulous. 

I was never really a big Feta Cheese eater growing up.  Back then there weren’t many Greek Deli’s in New York.  I remember there was one in Astoria that my parents used to buy some Greek products but that was it.  I started to enjoy eating Feta when I moved to Greece.  There is such a big variety of Feta Cheeses in Greece nowadays, I had to try a few before I could decide which one I really liked. 🙂  The light and peppery taste is definitely the one for me. 

So, this is delicious little treat is a recipe that I enjoy making and eating because it’s not just plain Feta Cheese.  🙂   

Have a good week everyone!! 🙂

KALI MAS OREXI!!! 🙂

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
