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!

Along with short language lessons in Greek, Alexandra incorporates dates of local festivals and, of course, endless recipes from classic national cuisine to which she adds some of her original twists on tradition.
Her kitchen is always stocked with “good chocolate, good olive oil, and good Greek yogurt”. And, of course, in addition to several other ingredients that you can easily find in your neighborhood. Alexandra’s flavorful and limitless recipes will leave you feeling stuffed, satisfied and spirited!

Souvlaki for the Soul
Souvlaki for the Soul opens its homepage with a large image of a delicate display from Peter’s long list of recipes. Peter’s love for food and photography has led him to create delicious meals and seemingly-edible images, (but don’t eat your computer screen.) 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. Enter the world of Peter’s delicious and beautiful images as he strives to “capture the beauty and simplicity of the food we eat and the big wide world around us,” as stated in his biography.
