Hi. I’m Elena. I grew up with one foot in Greece and the other in California. My earliest memories are of my yiayia handing me little bowls of spices to smell while she stirred something delicious on the stove. I always thought it was magic. Cooking has been my comfort for as long as I can remember. I love simple recipes that taste rich and full of life. Greek food does that better than anything. It is warm, generous, and full of stories. I started Simply Greek Flavors because I wanted a place where anyone can make Greek dishes without feeling overwhelmed. My kitchen is small and cozy. Nothing fancy. Just real food that brings people together. If you love fresh herbs, bright lemon, crusty bread, and big family plates at the center of the table, I think you will feel right at home here.
