Bake Me Xappy

Bake Me Xappy I cook like it's a national sport, feed like its a wedding and yes there will be leftovers for the next day....visit for the recipes and feel inspired

Welcome, my page! This page is dedicated to my late mother, Katina who loved cooking and baking. In our home it wasn't just about feeding us. It was about love ,bringing people together and seeing people enjoy her creations. It was about feeling good and being happy and sharing that with her family and friends .No one came to our house and left without enjoying her culinary talents. As a Greek mig

rant who arrived in Australia with her husband and two kids she used cooking as a portal for relaxing and releasing stress. She definitely passed her love and importance of cooking on to both my sister and I. I will be sharing with you some of her beloved recipes and mine also. Like most of the Greek older mums her recipes were unlike any other, with measurements made by the 'eye' ,and by the 'hand' ,and quite often by a small plate. So clearly I have had to modify the recipes to include actual modern day measurements😁
Enjoy the journey with me and Kali Orexi.
