Blogiversary

Everything is all over the small kitchen counter and living room table, while trying to sort out what the next recipe will be and what kind of post to write. While I was baking the Marble Cake yesterday, I realised that March 3rd, was the day I started my blog..ONE WHOLE YEAR HAS PAST!!…. WOW!!!!

If I remember correctly it was February 27th, 2017 that I had gone to the last interview for a job opening.  I didn’t get the job and was very upset and frustrated, so the following day I took Charlie for the longest walk all day actually, thinking, trying to come up with ideas of what I can do.  As I was walking home after a truly exhausting day mentally and physically I came up with the idea to start this cooking blog..I knew this would be good for me in so many ways. 🙂  I spoke to my husband about it and he encouraged me to go ahead and do it, and so I did, and very happy to be celebrating my

                                                         ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!!!! 

I am going to keep this short and sweet, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support, your likes, your warm and kind comments, your funny comments, (some literally had me on the floor,  you know who you are)  your emails, your friendship. 🙂 What more can I say than just THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am truly grateful and very happy to be here amongst all of you…I am so happy that I decided to start this blog, because I have made so many friends from all over the world. I have learned about their country, cultures, their food, their drinks, their lives. 🙂 

Thank you for letting me a part of your lives and Thank you for being a part of mine.  🙂

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
