Welcome to Kali Orexi
Sharing our Greek culinary heritage through video and stories.
Welcome to Kali Orexi – a beautiful website dedicated to sharing, celebrating and preserving my Greek culinary heritage. Traditional Greek food is wholesome, pure, nourishing and delicious! This is the food I love to eat and feed my loved ones! I hope I inspire you to cook the recipes I share here and capture your own family recipes too!
With love, Christine
How Kali Orexi began…
It all started when Christine (the founder of Kali Orexi) offered some of her mum’s Antigoni’s ntomatofai (tomato-eat dish) to her friend Sara. Sara enjoyed the ntomatofai so much, she asked if her mum would teach her how to make it, so they ended organising a cooking lesson. One thing led to another and today Kali Orexi has become a platform to help preserve our Greek culinary heritage alive for our generation and for future generations to come.
Meet Christine, our founder
I was born in Melbourne, Australia to Greek parents in 1966. Both of my parents originate from Kastraki, Greece, a village nestled amongst the majestic rocks of Meteora. My mother, Antigoni, is a great cook and is well known amongst our family and friends for her many signature dishes. Over the years, she has taught me many of her recipes, but there are still more to learn!
