Hi, I’m Niko—founder of Kastra Recipes, retired chef, and lifelong food enthusiast. Born in Thessaloniki and raised in the U.S., I’ve spent over 40 years in the hospitality industry cooking everything from Greek comfort food to old-school Italian classics. Now back in Greece, I share traditional, home-style recipes inspired by my roots and my journey. Join me as we bring the flavors of the past to your table.

Cheers,

Niko
