My name is Kathy Kordalis and I was born into a Greek family in Sydney, Australia but now currently reside in London with my English husband. I have over ten years experience in the food industry and currently work as a Food Stylist, Recipe Writer, Recipe Tester and am an Author of seven cookbooks.
Previously, I managed the Divertimenti Cookery School where I was inspired to embark into a cooking career and undertook the Leiths Diploma of Food and Wine where I qualified as a Chef.
My passion is food and its place in social history and art. My food style is light, relaxed and accessible, and I draw inspiration from my formal training at Leiths, Australian and Mediterranean heritage, and years of food industry experience across a range of roles, both organisational and practical.
My books offer elegant sharing recipes for times when you want to enjoy sumptuous meals and wow your guests. For day-to-day eating, I like to offer loads of satisfying and healthy ideas, and love to always encourage home cooks to widen their repertoire and be more creative with ingredients.
Whether cooking a Revamped Roast from Roast Revolution or a light and healthy mid-week meal from Cauliflower Power to having fun with friends making a Poptail from the Poptail Manual - there is something for everyone.
My next endeavour is the world of olive oil, its health benefits, rich history, healing properties and importance in society - modern and ancient.
