Chef Vivid Widayati

My friends and family call me Vivid, and I was born in the vibrant heart of Indonesia in 1983. My upbringing was immersed in the rich tapestry of tropical cuisine, with rice, creamy coconut milk, fiery chili peppers, fragrant lemongrass, and zesty ginger serving as the cornerstone of our culinary traditions.

In 2009, my culinary odyssey led me to Greece, where I fell head over heels for the enchanting Mediterranean cuisine. Here, I embarked on a quest to unearth the nuances of olive oil, the allure of succulent olives, the robustness of tomatoes, and the captivating world of cheese, all essential ingredients that breathe life into timeless Greek recipes. These Greek flavors continue to captivate and inspire me, propelling me on an endless exploration.
