Just a little note from me

Written by Published on Updated on July 7, 2021 in Uncategorized

Hey there foodies friends,

I would like to thank everyone for your kind emails and messages.  I have not been able to go back to the kitchen, due to some minor difficulties.  I am hoping that by next week I will be back cooking up a storm and sharing my recipes with you.  🙂

Wishing everyone a good rest of the week!!

 

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

        I remember last year when you read between the lines and remained such a support for me when I was struggling with the isolation of lockdown! It was much appreciated! If there’s ever anything I can do, just let me know (my email is under my gravatar if you just click on it!!) 🙂 You are always positive!
