Writing Taverna was something I’d dreamed of my whole life. I was desperate to record and share the recipes and stories from my childhood. To shout about Cypriot food – what it means to me and why there’s a place for it in everyone’s home — was the reason I wanted to become a food writer.
I grew up in north London surrounded by food. Dad’s parents owned a Cypriot taverna and Mum’s folks opened one of the city’s irst Cypriot delis. Every weekend and holiday there was a meal or feast to celebrate.
