Yiayia's kitchen
Recipes that crossed two oceans
Eleni Papadaki left Chania, Crete, in 1968 with a suitcase, a copper briki and a notebook of recipes. Ten years later she opened a corner café in Sea Point, and Cape Town has been eating her spanakopita ever since.
Her grandson Nikos runs the kitchen now, but every pie, every keftes and every tray of baklava still follows her notebook. She still checks.
