About

Welcome to My Kitchen

Cooking has always been a way for me to share joy. As a child, I loved helping my mother bake cakes, and now, as a mother myself, I continue this tradition with my own family. The kitchen is where memories are made—where simple ingredients come together to create something special.

Being Greek, I grew up surrounded by incredible home cooks—women who passed down authentic recipes, each with a story of its own. This blog is my way of sharing that tradition with you. Find in this blog what happens when Vivian is cooking... Smiles, happy children faces, lots of cleaning and a cooker happy to share the results with as many as possible!

Inside, you’ll find lots of classic Greek recipes but also several French (as I am living in France) and international (lots of international friends), from vibrant meze to comforting main dishes and delicious desserts. They are simple, flavorful, and meant to be enjoyed with family and friends.

Each recipe includes a short introduction, a list of ingredients, and step-by-step instructions with photos. Traditional ingredients are used, but I provide substitutions when possible. Enjoy these recipes with friends and family, just as they are meant to be shared!

So, step into my kitchen, try a recipe, and bring a little bit of Greece to your table.

 Kali orexi! (Bon appétit!)
