Welcome to My-Greek-Kitchen.uk

Ok. Let's start.

A Knife is a tool. And the tool needs to be the exact right one so your job becomes easy, quick, safe, and... a bit arty. Imagine, for example, using a flat screwdriver for a crosshead screw. Yes, the job will still get done. But not as smoothly and easily, yes? Well, it's the same with knives really... 

A masculine figure using a big knife and a long workbench, or a petite lady squeezed in her tiny, busy kitchen, with all ingredients chopped up in tiny pieces.. really? how do you get from one to anoter? which one do you want to become? and which one reflects reality best? Because, in truth, when you cook for your kids after finishing an 8-hour shift, doesn't look like there is anything to enjoy there! But there is! And that's what I will try to show you. Cooking from prepping are two separate things, and can be done in different parts of the day or the week. There is plenty of time for joy, music, relaxation, confidence, mastery.

Smile, and start :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add some carrots? And celery sticks? Because English people do...

Yes! Of course you can ''EDIT'' any recipe according to your preferences. This step will come to you automatically. As you get more and more confident with cooking, you can make your own combinations!

My daughter wants to learn how to cook. Can you show her?

There is one recipe I would show to a teen: this is the red-lentil soup. You will have to supervise when your teen uses a hand-held blender and best to be in the room when the hob is on. But other than that, the main ingredient is a carrot and a potato. Quite straightforward for a beginner. 

Look! I made a Greek salad!

The name Greek Salad refers mainly to the classic tomato-cucumber-feta dish. True, this is the number one over the summer months in Greece. It's the seasonal vegetables that lead the way after all. But, for the Greeks, salad is any vegetable with olive oil and lemon. So, you can make as many as you want at home!

How do you cut this?

As long as you use the right knife, cutting anything is easy!

Services

These recipes don't take more than 30min prep, cooking, and serving. They are also quite traditional in flavour, and kids love them. 

These are good. But definitely need more time, so I labelled them as Sunday recipes because you can use Saturday to do the preparation.

As many as you want! Once you learn the mindset, go on and make your own.

 

About us

It all began in 2010 when I moved from Greece to the UK—and suddenly found myself expected to cook (an important element of my culture). I knew how Greek food tasted, but I had never actually made it myself. I had to learn everything from scratch—while adjusting to a new country, new ingredients, and eventually, raising my daughter between two cultures...
