I’m Elena!

Cooking has always been more than a hobby for me — it’s been a way of life.

I first found myself in the kitchen as a young girl, helping my family whenever I had a free moment outside of school. That’s where my journey with food began: kneeling on a chair to stir a pot, learning by watching, tasting, and slowly falling in love with the aromas and rhythms of the Greek kitchen.

Decades later — with over half a century of life behind me — that passion hasn’t faded. If anything, it’s grown richer, deeper, and more joyful.

Here on CookTheGreekWay, I share the recipes that shaped my childhood, nourished my loved ones, and taught me that food is the most generous way to tell a story. Each dish reflects a place, a season, a memory — and together, they form a delicious map of Greece.

So come along — cook with me, taste with me, and let’s explore every corner of my country through its beautiful, honest food.

Καλή όρεξη!
