Happy Good Month – Kalo Mina

Written by Published on Updated on September 30, 2025 in Monthly Notes

Hello, my lovely friends,

4c33dce6 d61a 468d 8ede a0d40810d659

Although I don’t live in Greece, I’ve held onto this little tradition of posting Kalo Mina for the past six years, and I’m keeping it going! So from my kitchen to yours, I’m wishing you a Καλό μήνα – Good Month!    With Summer just around the bend, and with it comes all the things I love most: light meals, fresh herbs, grilled everything, and lazy afternoons spent outdoors, preferably with a plate of meze and a chilled drink in hand.

I hope that this month brings you fresh inspiration, cozy moments, and plenty of delicious bites. Whether you’re cooking something new, revisiting an old favorite, or just here for the food stories, thank you so very much for being part of the Foodzesty family. 💛

New recipes and meze magic are on the way, so stay tuned, and as always, smile.

With love,

Sophie 🙂

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
