Hello and "yeia sou"!
I'm Peter!
I'm a food photographer, recipe developer and the voice behind Souvlaki For The Soul. I grew up in a Greek-Australian family where recipes were passed down through generations, and today I share the traditional Greek dishes, modern favourites and baking recipes that shaped the way I cook.
Why Greek Food?
Because it's part of who I am.
I grew up surrounded by the recipes, traditions and stories my parents brought with them from Greece. Food was how our family celebrated, connected and stayed close to our heritage.
Today, Souvlaki For The Soul is my way of sharing those recipes with a new generation. Some are traditional, some are modern, but each one has a connection to the Greek food I grew up with and continue to love.

Homemade Spanakopita
If there's one recipe that means the most to me, it's this one. Watching my mum make spanakopita by hand reminds me why I started sharing these recipes in the first place. ❤️
