Καλημέρα!
I’m Sophie, the creator of Foodzesty, a Greek food blog filled with easy, flavorful recipes that bring the warmth of a Mediterranean kitchen to everyday life. I’m also a podcaster, an English tutor to students around the world, and yes… I studied law, which means I can argue endlessly about why feta belongs in everything. Most days, you’ll find me cooking with a spoon in one hand and one of my two basset hounds stealing crumbs behind me.
I grew up in a home where food meant comfort, tradition, and togetherness. My mother is a wonderful cook, and our house was always filled with the smell of home‑cooked meals. Fast food was a once‑a‑week treat, a huge event for my brother and me, jumping around in the back seat, laughing, just being kids. We loved trying new flavors, new smells, even dishes that looked nothing like what we ate at home. That curiosity stayed with me.
In my teens, cooking wasn’t my thing yet. I preferred magazines, music, and quiet afternoons. Sometimes I’d glance at my mom’s recipes, more out of curiosity than intention. I didn’t know then that cooking would become my passion. Slowly, I started reading her recipes more closely. Each month, I’d visit our neighborhood bookstore for my usual magazines, until one summer, I wandered into the cooking section. I bought my first cooking magazine… and I loved it.
What began as a hobby grew into a lifelong passion. Cooking and baking became my way of exploring the world, its cuisines, spices, oils, scents, and traditions. It’s still an amazing journey, one without limits, and Foodzesty is where I share that journey with you.
