This is an unusual story. I noticed your Carrot Cake recipe many
at my brother in laws home, Felix, in 1990? I’m always searching for interesting recipies, therefore I wrote it down. I made it quite a few times over the years, allways with much succes. I was visiting my in laws last Thanks Giving and I found the Gourme mag. and the recipe. This time I copied it. At my local church, in
Broomal PA the ladies of philoptochos gather and bake for our Greek festival. I offered to bring Carrot Cake today. Yesterday I took the recipy out and noticed the Padakis name! Yesterday also the President of Drexell U. also Papadakis has died. It is odd…..The ladies loved the Carrot Cake. I read somewhere to pay attention to the signs… Just wanted to share this with you.
Thank you for the recipe. Martha

It seems that my Carrot Cake recipe has taken on a life of it’s own since being published in the June 1990 edition of Gourmet Magazine and then in the compilation volume in 2004. I feel like I am on What’s my Line–I am Felix Papadakis. I live in Erwinna, Pennsylvania and let me share this very bizarre tale. Just last night I was searching for the original issue of Gourmet (June 1990) in which the Carrot Cake recipe was published. I was then living in Hoboken, NJ and studying for the bar exam and vividly recall my late aunt, who is featured on the first entry of my blog felixpapadakis.wordpress.com, calling me to tell me that she spotted my name in Gourmet. I had secretly submitted the recipe to Gourmet months earlier and after a call from the test kitchens of Gourmet–who knows, maybe it was even Sarah Moulton who called me–I was told the recipe would appear sometime in the next few months.

Fast forward 17 years to yesterday. Searching in the darkness of our basement to no success, I could not believe that I had misplaced my 15 minutes of fame. So, last night I ordered the entire year of 1990 on Ebay and this morning, thinking that I would maybe need a few more copies for posterity, I googled Felix Papadakis Gourmet 1990 and was led to your blog.

I’ve always believe in the power of food to bring people together and here we are. Great blog. Love the layout and the pics. Continued successes.

Felix Papadakis
