Fournos- authentic Greek food from my home kitchen

Aim

Let's bring a taste of Greece to Arbroath, Angus and the surrounding areas!

The story so far

I come from a family of great home cooks. My mum Olympia used to work long hours when we were growing up, so time spent with her was limited. My most precious memories are of helping her in the kitchen while she was preparing delicious food to feed our family and friends. She would make it all from scratch, no shortcuts there.. our home was always the hub where all family gatherings happened and mum in the centre of it all, cooking tirelessly, always with a smile on her face, to produce food from the heart that would bring a smile to people's face. 

As a mum of three, and a step mum of one, myself now, I seem to have inherited my mum's need to cook and make people happy through my home cooked food. I am rediscovering all our family recipes from my childhood and get real joy from smelling and tasting all my childhood favourites. 

The future ahead

As the years pass I have come to realise that my need to cook and produce food is bigger than my family's need to consume, so I decided to start producing food for everyone who is willing to give it a try! 

My goal is to use ingredients from local producers and shops as much as possible, and produce authentic Greek foods, just like my mum used to make! I am in constant communication with mama Olympia back in Greece and she is very excited with this project, sharing her recipes and best held secrets! I might even fly her over to Scotland for a seminar or two.. 

I am planning on preparing the food in my home kitchen and selling it to local cafés and markets, while also preparing food for individuals and taking orders for small events and parties.
