Greece’s Beloved Celebrity Chef Talks Authenticity in Greek Cuisine and Life.

Cooking is my passion. I believe that Greek Cuisine deserves her own high position in the world’s gastronomy. Greece is so much more than souvlaki and tavernas. Our cuisine is as pure and refined as our spirit, not unlike our philosophy or theatre. I am determined to share my love and knowledge of it throughout the land. The people here in Greece have cheered for me and they took me to places I never thought possible…to the top. They tell me it’s because I was genuine, simple and, like the ‘Girl next door.’ I have only ever received love from my audience. Now I am ready to pay it forward to the world. My success on TV is mostly because I bring so much energy to my cooking shows and appearances. I’ve managed to persuade even the most uninterested or unskilled person… that he or she can cook. Yes, you can make it in the kitchen! Sometimes I feel more like a cheerleader than a cook. My motto, when I first started out, was that there are NO SECRETS in cooking. At least there weren’t with me. The knowledge and techniques I give always come back to me in an encounter with a fan who’ll stop me to share a cooking victory. This includes men, and now I am meeting many, many more young people who are touched and motivated by my work.
