Hi, I'm Fotini.
I'm the author and cook behind Real Greek Recipes. I've created this blog to share my passion for cooking, healthy food, and tradition. My aim is to share with you traditional Greek food recipes just as we make them in my country, Greece.
A bit more about me: I love Fall, rainy days, reading books, knitting, crocheting, sewing (or anything that has to do with needles really), playing and cuddling with my cats, and dancing tango, all these when I manage to force myself out of the kitchen (my biggest love of all!)
I'm half Greek half Dutch, born and raised on a small island in the Ionian, Lefkas. I studied cooking in Athens where I currently live. I worked for many years as a cook at our family-owned Taverna. And now thanks to all of your support, I'm a fool-time blogger and recipe developer. This helps me share my love for real, healthy, Greek food with a big part of the world so thank you for being here and supporting RealGreekRecipes!
About Real Greek Recipes
On this blog, you will find recipes for cooking authentic Greek dishes. And also homemade Greek-style meals from scratch that are healthy and nutritious. Greek cooking is all about nutritious, food cooked from scratch made mostly with fresh + seasonal ingredients. This means lots of vegetables, legumes, grains, seafood, and plenty of extra virgin olive oil!
You can see more of my cooking videos and tutorials on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Sometimes some Greek ingredients may be hard to find where you live so I either show you where to buy online or give ingredient substitutes wherever possible.
