Welcome!

I’m Jenny, a Greek splitting my time between New York City and Athens. I grew up between my mother’s Cretan kitchen, full of wild greens, herbs, and good olive oil, and my Constantinople grandmother’s cooking, warm with cinnamon, cardamom, and dried fruit. This is where I write down those recipes, tested in my Greek-American kitchen with US measurements, so you can cook them the way we do at home.
