Yiayia's Little Kitchen

05/09/2026

Want to take some time out? Escape the busyness and sit in nature, overlooking the sea and enjoying a high tea with Greek Cypriot twists?

Kalisperasas! I am Caterina, Yiayia to 5 ( yes they call me Yiayia) and I run a fully registered kitchen, meeting all food health and safety requirements with the District Council from my home here in the Bay. I specialise in Greek Cypriot catering, cooking classes, high teas and table of 8 lunches. You will also find me at the Awakaponga Christmas Market on Sunday 22nd November 4pm to 7pm, selling my baklava, finikia, kourambiethes, marinated olives and meze dinner plates. I hope to see some of you there as it is the only market I attend.

I have recently returned from 5 weeks in Greece and Cyprus, and am even more inspired to keep my mother's and my heritage alive.

I have met a few in this group so far and I thank you for the friendship and support you have given, but I would like to meet more of you in the BOP. I would love to connect.

Pm me re. any other details. I deliver for special orders and have my Spring Menu of services ready to go. Kopiaste!

Fun with Phyllo

Another lovely group at cooking classes.... Phyllo is such an easy, dairy free pastry to work with. No fear...just fun.

Prassopita

Leeks are in season...let's use them.

Coming soon in a new set of Fun with Phyllo classes....

One thing I saw time and time again in Greece and Cyprus recently, was savoury pies are not very high with filling and the homemade phyllo pastry is heavier for savoury pies than using shop bought Phyllo.

Since I was 22 years old, I have preferred Prassopita over Spanakopita. I watched an auntie make it and it's a favourite of mine...egg free which is useful for those with allergies...you can add cheese if you wish or keep it authentic and humble with leeks, potatoes, herbs and olives, which keeps it a completely plant-based pie, supportive of those fasting and abstaining from animal products. It certainly is a complete u-turn from an English leek pie in a cheese sauce in pastry. It's one of the reasons I have fallen in love with islands like Naxos.... the food remains authenticly simple and delicious. My hubby and I have enjoyed it this week for lunches....I need to make another one for hubby's birthday next week....
