selfie of a woman with a doberman puppy — Working hard with my assistant Lucy

Hi! I am Jenny!

Born and raised in Greece, I studied Graphic Design in Athens and London before diving headfirst into magazine publishing back home. After years as an art director in fashion publications, I followed my heart to the United States to be with the love of my life, Daryl. We married in Las Vegas and made the greater New York City area our home starting in June 2006. Today, as a dual citizen, I split my time between Athens — my main home — and NYC, the city that will always have a piece of my heart.

We are proud parents to our four-legged family: our Golden Lab, our wonderfully naughty Doberman puppy Lucy, and Skylar, our fluffy cat. And forever in our hearts — our beloved Dobermans Oliver and Lily, Sophie and Mario and our darling Rose the cat.

I spent every summer of my childhood in Crete. One of my most treasured memories is climbing an olive tree with a tin plate in hand — a rusk, a perfectly ripe tomato, some local myzithra, and a handful of olives—the most perfect lunch.

Christmas!

My paternal grandmother, Evgenia, was born in Constantinople. Her cooking carried the rich, layered flavors of the Mediterranean — Greek with a beautiful Turkish influence. She was one of the finest cooks I have ever known, and her family dinners were legendary. Her famous stuffing is the very reason we still make turkey for Christmas to this day.

I am here to share the best of these recipes with you — stories, flavors, and all.
