about me

I'm a Greek-Australian living in Melbourne at the moment with my husband and three kids (boy 9, girl 6, boy 2); my parents and brother also live nearby and are my unconditional supporters/ helpers.

I predominantly cook Greek at home, and I get lots of inspiration from other European cuisines. I also cook Asian dishes, and, lately, roll-it-yourself sushi is a favourite with the husband and kids (a Korean friend suggested it as an easy last-minute/emergency meal! How right she was!).

Admittedly, my husband is the expert at cooking Asian curries and other dishes; I can also claim many successes in this cuisine, though I need to spend more time reading and concentrating on the recipe. Put simply, he's more of a natural.

Favorite Foods:

EVERYTHING, but the top ones are:

Truly Greek dishes: fish soup; pastitsio; mousakas; spaghetti 'bolognese'-style (using my family's recipe of meat sause - yum!)

Also: lemon chicken; pizza with extra cheese

All Greek sweets,especially the syrupy ones, such as melomakarona (a moist biscuit-type dessert, usually consumed at Xmas and Easter - yum!)
