One of the most cherished things about family are the secrets and family recipes that you share with only each other. It is truly amazing how much people bond over flaming grills, secret ingredients, and a good glass of wine.
Recently, I had the opportunity to recreate one of my favorite family recipes that originated from my Dad and his Father while traveling through the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. Before leaving to head back to school my Dad and I made a "Bellisari Favorite,"
Smoked Fish Dip.
Like most family recipes there are always the family members that will make it best, which I can only hope to become one day. They tend to be the Grandma's, the Grandpa's, the Mom's, the Dad's and occasionally the Aunt's and Uncle's. For this specific recipe it is my Father, who just happens to be a master at all things Seafood.
Now I can't give away the recipe that is yet to be written down, but I can tell you a GOOD piece of smoked fish, a little sour cream, a couple of missing ingredients, and some secret spices can go a long way.
For the days that you are together or maybe you are not and need a little reminder of the ones you love, don't forget your family ties and whip up some your best memories of home.
Seasonally Yours,
Kylie Bee
