Kαλημέρα!

I’m the creator of Foodzesty is a Greek food blog filled with easy, flavorful recipes that bring the warmth of a Mediterranean kitchen.  I’m a podcaster, an English tutor to students around the world, and yes… I also studied law, which means I can argue why feta belongs in everything.  I will usually be with a spoon in one hand and one of my two basset hounds stealing crumbs behind me.

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, which was a huge day for my brother and. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. We all indeed 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 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 bought a cooking magazine… and I loved it.

Cooking and baking started 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.
