Kopiaste..To Greek Hospitality
Ivy, mother of three hungry boys, loves cooking and baking traditional Greek meals. After she grew up in Cyprus, Ivy moved to Greece, where she has been living for several years. That’s where Ivy was inspired to write down all of her recipes to pass down to her kids. As a result, she hopped on the internet and created her “virtual kitchen,” Kopiaste..to Greek Hospitality. Since 2007, Ivy’s blog has thrived on her passion for healthy cooking and living and has even written a handful of cookbooks which you can buy.
Her website includes anything from drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) to desserts, entrees or even side dishes. And if you are in town, check out the opportunity to participate in her cooking classes!

Since 2007, Peter is a self-taught chef who has seen the ups and downs to cooking and is still currently learning. Although he has grown up in Australia, his Greek heritage has allowed him to devise a variety of local dishes, both savory and sweet.
