Hello and how is everyone?  I hope the week has started off well for everyone 🙂 I have been busy these past few days, I have been trying to catch up on some courses and reading all of your posts and trying to respond to all the lovely comments I have received but I am still behind.  I am also trying to pack because we will be leaving in about a week’s time for a small vacation, heading back to Greece to visit family.   

I will continue posting while I am away but I won’t be posting any of my homemade dishes but I will be posting other delicious Greek dishes 🙂   With that being said here is a delicious appetiser filled with Aubergines, Tomatoes and Cheeseeeeeee!!!!  I love Aubergines, and appetisers tasting, dipping, spreading, a little of this a little of that yummm.   I bought a few Aubergines the other day and wasn’t really sure what to do with them fry or bake them or make a dip…hmmmm I thought about it for a while and went with baking them along with a few other delicious ingredients.   Summer time is great for appetisers…so if you want to try a delicious appetiser give this one a try.

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
