Ivy Liacopoulou was born in Limassol, Cyprus.  She lives in Athens, Greece with her husband and three children.  She worked in the Airline industry for many years and had a bookstore for several years.  After early retirement she decided to record the traditional recipes of her country, as a heritage to her children.  The author is an experienced cook, being married for 30 years and cooking since she can remember herself as a child.  She provides not only a brief history of the recipe, after a lot of research, but also clear instructions, lots of useful tips, some step by step photos to show how to prepare more complicated recipes and with lots of other mouthwatering pictures for each recipe.    Ivy belongs to a new generation of home cooks who loves to experiment and create new recipes of her own.   Her creativeness and passion for cooking are depicted in her blog, Kopiaste.. to Greek Hospitality.    Ivy is inviting you in her kitchen (that is what kopiaste is all about), to share all her small secrets, behind hundreds of home-style recipes that have been part of her family's heritage for many years, where you will taste and scent the delectable, mouthwatering aromas of cinnamon, mint and blossom water, the predominant flavours of Cypriot cuisine.
