Greek-Lebanese, French speaker, raised in Dubai and shaped by Barcelona and London. I cook without step by step recipes, eat my way through every city I live in, and write about the places worth your appetite.
Beirut for now, Athens next.
I grew up between two of the best cuisines in the world, Greek and Lebanese, and I've been eating my way through the cities I've lived in ever since. I don't chase trends and I don't chase the most expensive table. I chase the plates you go back for again and again, and am always on the lookout for places that are filled with character.
On @helenapproves I share recipes, my sourdough attempts, Greek and Lebanese twists on things you already love, and my favourite spots in every city I've called home. Here, I keep the recipes and guides you can take with you.
Passing through Athens on the way to the islands? Don't spend it at the airport hotel. This is the city the way I live it, written for the hours you actually have.
Grab my free mini guide first. A handful of my favourite Athens spots, so you can get a feel for how I travel before you take the full guide with you. And keep an eye out: there's a discount code for the full guide hidden inside.
