The Youtube Journey

Greek and simple channel started when I became a mom and creativity was knocking from inside my skin to get a new life.

 

I started sharing my recipes on YouTube as a cooking show, talking on the camera and shooting with an old phone. I was sharing two videos per week making a huge effort having to take care of my little baby and shoot the recipes, edit, post etc. Few months later I was out of energy. I couldn’t even think of continuing doing this. I took my time and I studied photography and videography. I practiced new recipes and I experimented baking. I wanted to become better and better. 

 

The new season was born for the Greek and Simple channel. The videos had changed and the hero was not me any more but the food. The recipes themselves. And a year later a new piece was added to the videos. The little piece of our life in New Jersey and our trips, our crafts and made a new canvas of beautiful colors that tell our story. The stories of our families and the food traditions. The story of us. 

 

I believe, Life is moments. A blank canvas that we draw with our own colors. I hope sharing some of these colors of my cooking canvas with you is making this ride joyful and happy.

What am I working on?

Making over my daughter's bedroom and a sandwich

I haven’t figured out the final title yet but the theme is my daughter’s room makeover and a vintage style sandwich that my grandma used to feed me as a child when I was playing with the other children of our village in Central Greece during summer break. 

Making over the room brought in my mind memories of my childhood and then I came up with the idea to remake the sandwich that used to be something like a dinner snack for me. 

I can’t wait to share more. 

Right now I am done with the rough editing and working on part by part in more detail. I am hoping by the end of the week the video will be up in the YouTube air! Stay tuned!
