I come from a large Greek family and I learned how to cook at a very young age. I was always inspired watching my dad work his magic with garlic, lemon and olive oil and sitting at my papou's (grandpa) feet watching him make amazing soups. Today I take all those memories and recreate the dishes I grew up eating. It's funny that when you are a child you don't want to eat the dinner that mom and dad made and only want chicken nuggets- but once you are an adult you yearn for all those foods that you were gently force fed! I still try to get it just right and I think my dad would be proud with the legacy he left me!
