Has it ever happened to you? You’re cooking, cooking, cooking for a big party. Planning — and that’s my favorite part. Choosing dishes you love or those you were saving because they are for the big group. Imagining how the when day comes and you will devour them with everyone…

Then, the day comes and you can’t put a piece in your mouth. And if you can, you don’t taste anything.

This happens to me all the time. This happened again when I recently cooked for our friends at the radio station. There were a few dishes I was literally craving and couldn’t do anything about myself until they were gone.

That spanakopita from Taverna. I love it so much and was so excited to make it and have some. Nope — couldn’t eat.

Well, fixing it now when cooking just for us. Yes, it is as good as I remember it: bright, zinging green.

Spring is in the air.

@juliawithagoodappetite This usually happens to me when I cook a complicated dish. After all the preparation, I'd run out of energy to even eat what I had prepared.
It happens to me even with the simple ones🤦🏻‍♀️
