Thiea Argiro

This page is a loving homage to my wonderful auntie, my late pappou's sister, who resides in the beautiful village of Ammochori, Greece. Known for her incredible hospitality, she has the remarkable ability to cook on a grand scale, often making 400 varenika dumplings to feed the numerous visitors who grace her home daily. While this page is still in development, you can explore her Varenika recipe below. This dish was one of my pappou's favourites, reminding him of his home.

Hey I'm Anne

I don’t come from a professional kitchen; just one shaped by family, tradition, and the recipes passed down over time. This is where I share those dishes, along with the ones I’ve come to love making myself. I hope it feels like home.
