Hi, and thank-you for the beautiful presentation. It was perfect as I’m sure the baklava will be. Can’t wait to make it and to taste it. Thanks again and keep the recipes coming.

Hi Ivy,

Actually, my father’s family is from Limassol and my mother’s family is from Mytiini, Lesvos, and I grew up in Toronto, Canada. George’s family is from Nestani, which is about a 20 minute drive from Tripoli.

I’ve been reading some of your posts and your bio and it seems that we have a lot in common, except for sharing the same recipes. My husband’s family is from Peloponese, Megalopoli and Sparta and I read that your husband is from Cyprus. Where from? I am also from Cyprus.

watching Eva is like watching my grandmother who I learned how to cook from … perogi , stuffed cabbage …. ( which is so like stuffed grape leaves).

I’ll have to teach my nephew who’s Greek and Ukrainian.

Hi Eva – I LOVE Baklava, and yours looks scrumptious! My daughter in law made a batch for an international dinner that we hosted and it turned out so yummy. I am relatively new to Greek food, but am so happy I found this site! Looking forward to trying some of your recipes with my family!

Wow,
What an amazing idea and a great way to pass on a tradition.
In a time of contaminated and over-processed foods, it’s great to idea to get back to REAL food.
Good for you N & G!
