OUR STORY

One story begins in Cyprus in the late 1960's and the other in England in the 1980's. Despite the distance and time that separates these stories, both were exposed to the importance and influence of food. To grow up in a Greek Cypriot household, whether born in Cyprus or England, meant to be well fed, as food was everywhere and it was everything.

Food was an art, a passion, a passtime, a competition of comparison between friends and family. Although eating all the delicious food was amazing, the most important and gratifying part was the cooking. Having a household centred around eating and feeding large amounts of people meant that everyone had to play their part, but it was always a pleasure to help. 

Getting to use traditional Greek ingredients and make the dishes of our heritage meant a lot so we wanted to keep that standard of quality and familiarity by using products that are authentically Greek and Cypriot. Whether it's our flatbreads from Athens, oregano and olive oil from Crete or our black and green olives from Kalamata and Halkidiki, we take pride in knowing that every first bite you take is the same first bite we took as children. 

Kouzina exists because of the women who shaped us in the kitchen long before its time. The mothers and grandmothers who raised us passed down the dishes we still prepare today, and their recipes remain woven through every memory of home. We grew up surrounded by flavours crafted with devotion, each one a quiet lesson in love.

For any event, regardless of it’s size or importance, a huge feast wouldn't be far behind. Tables filled with Souvla, Moussaka, Pasticho, Stifado, Dolmades etc. Food is our way of celebrating life, from the care taken in the cooking to the immeasurable pleasure of feeding another, we pride ourselves on doing it right.

We poured all of our life experience and love into Kouzina because we want to share our passion and happy memories with you. Enjoy...!
