Description
“Just come show us how to make some of your ‘popular’ dishes”. How do you ‘show’ something abstract? Something that is your inheritance, your culture, a feeling! How do you ‘show’ someone to make dishes filled with memories. Aromas that have become part of your soul. How do you describe YiaYia and her kitchen – perfection? Wisdom, warmth, dedication personified? That’s how it all started
I started cooking & baking. Wow! Couldn’t believe it. Over 800 ‘friends’ interested in my ‘koulourakia & tsourekia!
I kept on baking.
Wow!Wow! 1200 interested in my ‘Infamous’ Cheese Cake. Can’t be a fluke!
So, 5 kilos later, thanks to your inspiration and motivation, and armed with nostalgia I began thinking…..
Like most Greeks in the early 1960’s, my parent immigrated to South Africa for a better future for their children.. Their goal: To stay 5 years, work hard and collect’ enough money to go back to Mitilini. Their dream: To build a ‘spitaki’ (little house) for each of their ‘morakia’(little children). 56 years later their ‘morakia’ are still in South Africa and so are they ….. smiling!
