Happy Mother’s Day to all you beautiful mothers out there!!! Especially to my mama!! Wishing you all a beautiful time with your family and friends.

You might be wondering what the heck happened to me after Greek Easter? Ah yes, I disappeared for a few days. Lots of exciting new things are happening, and of course I want to share with you. From interviews, catering, hair clients, and my next new project… I have been super duper BUSY. Yes, I said next new project. One word comes to mind for my next project. “OLIVES”

I guess you will have to wait for the next post to find out more about my next exciting new project. 🙂

IN THE NEWS

You might have noticed Back To My Roots cookbook showing up on a few amazing Greek blogger sites, as well as some major online newspapers. This past week, we were asked to be interviewed on popular Greek blogs, and 1 podcast show! Yes, I have been a busy chef these days, but I won’t leave you guys. (You are stuck with me forever ha!)

I have to thank all the amazing people who have asked Kouzounas Kitchen to be a part of their blog/ podcast. Lots of work and time goes into these interviews, so a huge THANK YOU!!
