Hi!
I’m Nikoletta, a British Greek Cypriot mum with deep roots in Cyprus and a big love for sharing food that feels like home. I grew up surrounded by stories told over the stove, the smell of cinnamon in slow-cooked sauces, and the sound of aunties chatting while rolling koupepia. Food was never just about eating. It was about connection, tradition, and love.
After I moved from London to Sydney in 2015, I found myself craving those familiar tastes and moments more than ever. I started cooking the dishes I grew up with – recipes passed down from my yiayia Tallou in Cyprus and family in London. Sharing those recipes quickly turned into something more; a way to preserve my culture, tell stories, and bring a little bit of Cyprus into kitchens around the world.
Here, you’ll find authentic family recipes, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, and fresh, seasonal cooking made simple. Everything I share is inspired by my British Greek Cypriot roots, from raising my little one to rediscovering forgotten flavours. My approach is unfussy and full of heart, because food doesn’t need to be complicated to be meaningful.
This space is for anyone who wants to cook with feeling, pass on tradition, or simply enjoy a good meal made with love. Whether you’re Cypriot like me or just curious to try something new, welcome to my kitchen. I’m so glad you’re here ?
