Hi,

I am Diane Kochilas, chef, author and your Greek Food Guru.

I’ve devoted my life to promoting the natural, healthy, delicious foods of Greece.
I’m a consulting chef at three top Greek restaurants in the North America: Pylos (NYC), Axia (NJ), Avli (Chicago), and Volos (Toronto). I am just about to launch a new Greek restaurant concept in lower Manhattan, so I will keep you posted.

On my website, you’ll find great easy and delicious Greek recipes. I am creating a special trove of recipes for vegans, since Greek food, with its wealth of main course vegetable dishes, is perfect for the vegan diet. But you’ll also find recipes for authentic, regional fare, everyday and festive dishes, and dishes inspired from the restaurants I cook at or dine in, both in Greece and globally. The extensive section on Greek ingredients and regional products will be up soon.

Check out my classes & tours for the 2012 schedule of our “Blue-Zone” Ikaria cooking sessions as well as the culinary trips we offer around Greece and my culinary walking tours of Athens.
