Helena and Vikki sassy twins born in South Australia. The girls learnt the tricks of the trade from their Greek grandmother. Growing up in a Greek family has given them the passion and love for Mediterranean food. The identical twins were 2014 finalists on Channel 7’s My Kitchen Rules. Their Greek family food won the hearts of the nation.

The twins have recently published ‘Taking You Home’ Simply Greek food with Hachette Books Australia. Helena and Vikki share their favourite recipes so that you can experience what it’s like to eat at their Greek family table. Each recipe is accompanied by a personal story and photos from the girls’ own collection.

The girls currently run monthly cooking class workshops for NSW schools, local councils around NSW and the Government.
