The Shared Spoon
Welcome to my cooking blog! Here, I celebrate the joy and creativity that comes with cooking, baking, and exploring new foods. My kitchen is my sanctuary, where I experiment with flavors, techniques, and recipes to create meals that bring people together.
I have always believed that food is more than just sustenance—it's a way to connect with others, to share love and laughter, and to create lasting memories. Whether I'm trying out a new recipe, perfecting a classic dish, or baking something sweet and delightful, my greatest joy comes from sharing these creations with the people I care about most.
Dining out with my closest friends and family is one of my favorite pastimes. There's something magical about discovering new restaurants, tasting new dishes, and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of a great meal shared with loved ones. These experiences inspire me to bring the same level of excitement and enjoyment to the meals I prepare at home.
Hosting lunches and dinners is a cherished tradition for me. I love setting the table, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and filling the house with the enticing aromas of a home-cooked meal. There's nothing quite like seeing the smiles on my guests' faces as they savor each bite, knowing that I have played a part in making their day a little brighter.
On this blog, you'll find a collection of my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and culinary adventures. From comforting family meals to elegant dinner party dishes, each recipe is crafted with care and a deep love for the art of cooking. I invite you to join me on this flavorful journey, to try new things, and to share in the joy of good food.
Let's cook, bake, and explore the endless possibilities of the kitchen together. Welcome to a world where every meal is a celebration, and every bite is a step closer to bringing people together.

My Story
Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, I was always surrounded by the rich aromas and vibrant flavors of both Italian and Greek cuisines. At 22 years old, I find myself reflecting on the unique blend of cultures that have shaped my culinary journey. My dad, with his deep roots in Italy, and my mum, with her Greek heritage, have both been instrumental in fostering my love for cooking.
Our family dinners were a beautiful fusion of these two culinary worlds. The table would be adorned with Italian antipasti, Greek salads, and an array of dishes that showcased the best of both cuisines. These meals were not just about eating; they were about sharing stories, laughter, and creating memories. It was during these times that I realised the power of food to bring people together.
Living in Melbourne, a city known for its diverse food scene, further fueled my passion for exploring new flavors and cuisines. I loved going out for dinners with my closest friends and family, discovering hidden gems and drawing inspiration from the culinary creativity around me. Each dining experience added a new layer to my understanding of food and its ability to connect people.
