Welcome to Kali Orexi
Sharing our Greek culinary heritage through video and stories.
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.

Warm, flakey, butter-laden layers of pan-fried fillo pastry are sprinkled generously with sugar and ground cloves and are served to celebrate “Chares” in Kastellorizo and across the globe by the Kazzie diaspora.
Wonderful Ros Kazacos expertly takes us step by step through the process of making this sweet. Watch the full video on YouTube and make this decadent and delicious Kazzie sweet now to celebrate life!!!

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!
