Hey! I love to cook for loved-ones and always put a different 'twist' in a recipe! I grew up in a nutty family with lots of gatherings, no special occasion required, where we'd try out my French dad's eccentric cuisine and my American mom's amazing pies! I was born in Athens, Greece, spent most of my years in Paris, moved to London when i was 18 and met my boyfriend who was Greek. We moved back to Athens when i was 20, and still here 5 years now!
I'm a ballet dancer, so since i can't eat too much :( , i demand my food is of quality! :) hehe!
I've been a vegetarian for about 11 years.
Love to cook listening to garage, punk records!
