Hi Foodie Friends,

Happy Easter to all!! I hope you all enjoyed your Easter Holiday and I know it must have been odd not having family members or friends over.   I guess you already know that begin Greek I will be celebrating Easter this coming Sunday.  Celebrating Easter this year will be quite strange.  This is the first Easter since leaving Greece in 2011, my mom will not be here for the holiday.  What a strange year 🙁  I am keeping positive, I hope you are tooooo!!

This year I decided to make the traditional Greek Butter Cookies but with a twist.  I am thinking of adding Orange zest into the batter.  I find baking to be such a challenge.  So, this time I am prepared, a few weeks ago I went out and bought a scale.  I was able to find one package of flour in my local supermarket…This was funny, they have the flour on the bottom shelf, geeezzz.  People don’t like to bend over and start to search but ahhhh I did and wayyyy in the back of the shelf was this lonely package of flour just waiting for me. 🙂  

My recipe for today is Pasta.  This Pipe Pasta Recipe is something I put together many many years ago.  It is so simple to make and if you’re looking for spicy then look no more. 🙂  (Yes, I added Chili peppers into this sauce).  Not too much but just enough to give it a kick.  This is a seriously delicious Pasta dish….that is if you love chickpeas, beans, and tomatoes. 

STAY SAFE!!!

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

    Aw Sophie, this sounds like a tough Easter for you. I'm so sorry. I really do hope you can stay safe at home and remember fond memories and eat lots of goodies and have as good a time as possible given the circumstances. Glad you found some flour - I noticed that's become the new loo roll in our supermarkets locally. Very strange. I wish the local Sainsbury's would put the things I buy on the bottom shelf, too much is on the top shelf and I'm too short! 😂xx

    Yummy and so easy Sophie. One dumb question, do I cook the pasta separately or just add The uncooked pasta too when I add the remaining ingredients, and it cooks in the sauce?
