Cyprus is filled with big hearts and big emotions – a hot, sleepy island, with hot tempers! On the surface it looks ‘normal’, but below the surface are many layers, filled with history – both beautiful and painful. An island full of amazing people, with incredible stories, doing amazing things. Join social and political analyst Costa Constanti to meet Cyprus and those who live there and in the diaspora.
In the 32nd episode of Terra Nullius Cyprus, meet Irene Matys, a proud Canadian-based Cypriot from Famagusta, recipe developer, food stylist-photographer and TV chef. Her bestselling cookbook ‘My Cypriot Table: Mediterranean Recipes for Gathering, Sharing, and Savoring’ brings over 100 fresh and vibrant recipes – and her personal stories of her life’s journey influenced by Cypriot culture – inspired by the warmth, flavours and bounty of Cyprus and the Mediterranean into kitchens around the world. As a farm-to-table advocate she has a passion for cooking with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and creating aromatic dishes that feed the eyes and nourish the soul. She was blessed by a family legacy as olive growers, olive oil producers and farmers in Cyprus.
