Roasted Lime & Olive Oil marinated Sardines

Hello friends,

Greeks love appetizers, but then again who doesn’t.  On Sunday I had planned to make a few appetizers to nibble on before our late lunch.  My husband wanted Sardines, so on Saturday morning, I headed to our local fish store.  I bought a couple of Fresh Sardines.  The cool thing about my fish store is that they can clean (scrape scales) fish. 🙂  This saves me so much time and cleaning up in the kitchen.  

Greek Cuisine has so many different variations of Appetizers that are so tasty.  Sometimes it’s a difficult choice even for me.  For example, when my husband and I are in Greece and go out to dinner to a Tavern they hand us the Menu.  I am very nonchalant chatting away to my husband about well just chatting, I open the Menu and then BOOM!!  what, where, ????!!!  what what what???!!!  then I roll my eyes and I say to my husband here we go again. 🙂 I sit with the Menu in my hand for about 10 minutes trying to decide what appetizers to order.  Seriously, I am not joking!!  ohhhh and I consider myself to be up to date with what they are eating and drinking in Greece.  Buuuut by the time I get to Greece they have come up with new ideas and I am lost!!!

Summertime is definitely for outdoor activities and BBQ, and of course appetizers.  We didn’t bbq over the weekend but I did make a few appetizers and this is one of hubbies favorite…I hope you enjoy it as much as he did…:)

Have a good day and week everyone!!

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
