about us

Cypriotness is a culinary exploration of Cypriot culture created by Carolina Orphanidou and Natalie Toufexis. We started Cypriotness in September 2022, because we wanted to give Cypriot culture a stage, explore what our Cypriotness means to us and also share this with a few people on the way. Food is our medium, because that is what we do best. We love to eat, we love to explore and we love to cook for others. We also believe that food is an unequivocal part of our Cypriot identity. Food is power, food is political, food can unite, divide - but most importantly, tell a story. And that is what we are here to do.

Pop-Up Events

We love to talk about our Cypriot culture, share anecdotes, cook the dishes we miss from home. We also love turning food into a political conversation, raising awareness and creating a familiar atmosphere around a long table. We are able to do this through our Pop-Up Events which we host every few months. Stay up to date by following us on instagram!

Workshops

It’s all in the movement of the hands— the moment a scent tells you it’s just right, the way the milk looks just before it’s ready to leave the stove.
Our workshops invite you into these small, beautiful details of traditional Cypriot cooking.
Learn the craft from the inside out as we share time-honoured techniques alongside new formats we’re continuously developing. Always accompanied by a lot of cultural background.
