Vivian Is Cooking Diary – Week of 15 August 2026

Welcome to my first Vivian Is Cooking Diary! ❤️ This week was a delicious mix of Greek favourites, homemade bread, baking and a few new recipes I wanted to try. Hope that they will inspire your own home cooking!

🍽️ What I cooked...

A New Chapter for My Cooking Blog: Welcome to My Cooking Diary

After 13 years of sharing recipes and three Cookbooks published this year in Amazon wordwide, I’m giving the blog a little new twist! ❤️

I’ll still be sharing recipes, but I also want to show you more of what actually happens in my kitchen — the meals I cook, things I bake, old favourites, little experiments and dishes inspired by my cookbooks.

So I’m starting Vivian Is Cooking Diary, where I’ll share a glimpse of what I’ve been cooking each week, with photos and links to recipes from the blog whenever I have them.

And of course, I’ll be sharing dishes from my two cookbooks published this year:

📖 Vivian is Cooking GREEK — English & French
📖 Vivian is Cooking BAKING — English

Both are available worldwide through Amazon.

Less pressure to create a brand-new recipe every time, and more real food from my kitchen to yours. ❤️

Welcome to the new chapter!

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news — my Greek cooking book has officially been released on Amazon! 📖✨

If you love the idea of holding a beautiful printed cookbook in your hands, the paperback edition is now available on Amazon. For those who prefer a digital version, my eBook is available on Etsy and Gumroad, ready to download and use on any device.

But that’s not all! My Etsy shop keeps growing, now offering:

• Printable recipe cards and bundles — recreate your favorite Greek dishes at home, one recipe at a time

Whether you’re cooking for family, friends, or a romantic evening, these digital products are designed to make your experience fun, beautiful, and authentic.

I’d love your support! If you enjoy my book, recipes, or art prints, feel free to:

• Share the news with your network

And a little secret… I’m already working on my next book: Vivian is Cooking Baking Stunning Cakes! 🎂✨ I can’t wait to share it with you and add even more sweet inspiration to your kitchen.

Thank you for being part of this journey — from blog, to Etsy, to Amazon! It’s all about bringing the taste, beauty, and joy of Greek cuisine into your home.

Kali orexi! (Bon appétit!)
