2013 'New Beginning'


Hello it's been a while... I had a great time during Christmas; I went back home to Cyprus to visit my family and friends. Oh I missed my mum's food so much! You know traditional Greek cuisine, is delicious! Having said that I'm becoming a great cook myself after watching Masterchef on TV! I'm experimenting a lot with new flavours and textures, is extraordinary how many different ingredients you can combine and have a great result. For example today I wanted to make a sauce to go on top of my turkey breast and guess what I did? I blended a pear with mushrooms and some
herbs and tarah! the result was delicious!

So what was I saying? Oh yes! about Christmas holidays. So on New Year's Eve something amazing happened. We arranged to go out for a meal with some friends in a restaurant with live music and then out of nowhere, I was sitting next to one of the best actresses in the history of Greece!! Her name is Mimi Ntenisi and she happened to be good friends with one of our friends on the table. I felt like it was unreal but at the same time I was trying to hide my excitement and talk 'normaly'. She is so easy to talk to, she started asking me about my studies and what are my plans for the future; then she mentioned about setting up the Musical 'The King and I' in Cyprus and how she was interested hearing my voice! What? I wanted to scream out of happiness! I didn't loose time, a couple of days later I prepared and recorded 3 songs. Once I came back to London my mum informed me that she handed the DVD to her and now I can't wait to hear back and see what she thinks! Wow this is a BIG opportunity for sure and a massive contact to have, especially when I decide to move back to Cyprus.
