Cyprus Cooking

Traditional recipes, family favourites and the stories behind them.

Cyprus has a remarkable food tradition. The best dishes are often the simplest: recipes handed down through families, built around local produce, and prepared with the sort of care that cannot be measured in minutes. Here we explore the stories behind traditional Cypriot cooking, one recipe at a time.
