I admit to often getting stuck in a rut when a decision has to be made about eating destinations. There are times when I fancy a favourite dish at a favourite spot but more often than not I love experimenting and will go out of my way to try something new.
That’s probably why I am obsessed with Cypriot and Proud, a website dedicated to everything food and drink-related on the island. Here, you’ll find an astounding number of listings from all over the island, categorised into cuisines and districts and reviewed by a passionate foodie, who speaks the truth! Yay! And that’s not all! Planning a night out? As a parent, I find informative guides such as C&P are a must since going out is such a rare luxury and we’re hardly up to date on what’s in and happening. Paola, the mind behind Cypriot and Proud, is doing such a brilliant job of promoting local healthy living choices, produce and businesses on the island, I wanted to do the same for her. Go show your support and most importantly, discover Cyprus and all the yummy treasures it has to offer.
I need to mention the free Cypriot and Proud application which I have found to be tremendously useful on a Sunday morning when time does not matter and the most important decision you have to make is where to have lunch.
Before I go, I have to tell you about the launching of Cypriot and Proud’s first product, which is, naturally, food related. A collection of beautifully simple aprons, designed by local designer Anna Koumoushi are available for both men and women AND they come with a free wooden spoon! As an avid baker and cook, I am truly excited about this collaboration for a number of reasons but mostly because of that pocket in the front. Why don’t I have an apron with a pocket? Anything with pockets is always a winner!
The Cypriot Moushi apron costs 28 euros including a wooden spoon and is available from:
