The love for cooking that started at a young age
Eleftheria's relationship with cooking began in her childhood. Growing up in Sikya, she spent many hours in the kitchen watching her mother and grandmother cook. The aromas of homemade food and traditional recipes became a source of inspiration for her.
At just 12 years old, she began experimenting on her own with recipes, creating simple yet tasty dishes. Over the years, cooking became much more than a hobby — it became a way of expression and creation.
How Dish of the Day was born
The idea for **Dish of the Day** came about almost by chance. About two years ago, Eleftheria decided to upload a video with a recipe on TikTok, simply to share it with friends.
However, the video gained great popularity, and so she started posting more and more recipes. Very quickly, the audience began to grow, discovering the easy, homemade recipes that remind one of a Greek family table.
Today, **Dish of the Day** is one of the most recognizable cooking pages on social media, with:
approximately 177,000 followers on TikTok

ideal for everyday cooking
What stands out is that her creations maintain the taste and warmth of homemade food.
Cooking with the backdrop of Sikya Halkidikis

The terrace of her house, overlooking the old village primary school, as well as landscapes from beaches, forests, and natural beauties of the area, often appear in the videos.
In this way, Eleftheria not only showcases her cooking but also the beauties of Halkidiki, encouraging viewers to visit her place.
Collaborations and new plans
The great popularity of **Dish of the Day** on social media has led to collaborations with well-known food companies, such as **Knorr** and **FAGE**, confirming the influence she has gained in the field of digital cooking.
At the same time, Eleftheria has created a special recipe book that allows readers to record their own favorite recipes.
In her future plans is the creation of a new book that will include her own recipes, photos, and elements from the history of Sikya Halkidikis.
Cooking that creates emotion
Eleftheria Kefala's success is not based on complicated techniques or impressive presentations. Instead, it is based on **simplicity**, **authenticity**, and the **taste** that reminds one of home.
