Yiota Giannakopoulou

Yiota Giannakopoulou was born in Nafplio, Peloponnese, in the 1980s. From a young age she learned to appreciate the generous fruit of the fertile soil. Fruit and vegetables were available in abundance from her granddad’s extensive garden plot: eggplants, zucchinis, figs, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions . . . you name it! Watching her parents cook helped her gain a variety of skills and keep up with tradition. Yiota's biggest passions include reading literature, poetry and children's books, singing, cooking and enjoying life generally.
