Angelina's interest in cooking was sparked as a teenager as she watched her grandmothers and mother cook in their Greek kitchen. After her studying sociology Angelina worked as a journalist, has published a magazine and taught media in the past. She has traveled around the world and it was during her time living in South Korea in the 90's that she started offering Greek cooking classes. An active bilingual food blogger, member of Slow Food International and a member of the Mykonos Gastronomic Club, Angelina is passionate about sharing forgotten Greek and Myconian recipes featuring locally produced and seasonal ingredients with her guests. One of her passions is discovering traditional island cheeses, small wineries, and microbreweries and she loves sharing her insider knowledge with her guests. In the summer months, Angelina works as a private chef around the greek islands in the summer offering villa guests authentic greek cuisine with the best ingredients available. During the quieter winter months, Angelina researches traditional Greek recipes, scouts around the country for small producers, original and special products and organic farmers for her column in newspapers and gastronomic magazines.

What a fantastic time with Angelina! Great authentic lessons and sharing the meal with her, and stories, cooking was all done. Highly recommend!!!- troy July 08, 2026
We had a wonderful experience with Angelina cooking in her well stocked kitchen. She explained all the techniques thoroughly. I love to cook and my husband does not but he tried to make a few things and with her guidance they were great. I love that she followed up by sending us her recipes which I intend to try at home. I feel we had a real authentic Greek experience that was a highlight of our vacation. Nancy- nancy June 19, 2026
