Hello April Kalo Mina – Good Month

Written by Published on Updated on April 1, 2026 in Monthly Notes

Hey everyone!!

April always arrives with a sense of softness, awaking from a long winter. The days are brighter, the air a little lighter, and everything around us starts to bloom again. It’s a month that invites fresh starts in our kitchens, our routines, and especially our moods.

And of course, April begins with a bit of mischief. April 1st, April Fool’s Day, is the one day of the year when playful little tricks and harmless little jokes are allowed. Whether you join in or simply enjoy the lighthearted spirit, it’s a reminder not to take life too seriously, life is short, and so a little laughter is always welcomed.

Here’s to a beautiful month ahead: longer days, fresh ingredients, and the gentle shift toward spring flavors. May April bring creativity, warmth, and plenty of delicious moments to your table.

KALO MINA – GOOD MONTH TO ALL!! 🙂

 

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
