From Our Family's Mediterranean Food Journey

When our family moved to New Zealand from Greece over a decade ago, we found ourselves missing many of the authentic ingredients and flavours that had always been part of everyday life. What began as a passion for sharing Mediterranean food with our local community grew into Meditaste — a trusted source of premium Greek and Mediterranean products sourced from across the region.

Today, the olive oils, cheeses, pantry staples, sweets, and specialty ingredients used in Emily's classes and events come from Meditaste, our family's Mediterranean Food store. If you've enjoyed cooking with Emily, you can discover the ingredients behind those flavours through Meditaste and bring a little taste of the Mediterranean into your own home.

Memories from Our Guests

Greek music was playing and had some of us up dancing later in the evening with Emily joining in showing us traditional Greek dancing. Emily was a lovely friendly hostess - we all loved her. Thank you Emily for making this a magical memorable night.
Emily’s Greek Kitchen is a gem! The food was delicious, with authentic Greek flavors that left me wanting more. The warm, inviting atmosphere made the experience even better. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. I’ll definitely be back.
Me and my brother went along to Emily’s cooking classes and what a wonderful evening! Amazing hospitality that made you feel part of the family, delicious authentic Greek food and a lovely welcoming atmosphere I couldn’t recommend it more! ❤️🇬🇷
