Loulla Astin

Loulla Astin came to fame in the early 90s as a bubbly and passionate Greek and Cypriot Chef. She made her debut on BBC1 TV in ‘Eggs ‘n Baker’, and following this she appeared in many other food related shows. Loulla was then given the opportunity to host her own series, ‘Simply Greek’. Her vibrant and rustic approach to cookery was soon noticed and she was asked to appear regularly on ‘This Morning with Richard and Judy’, through which their families bonded and became close friends. In addition, Loulla was the resident chef on ‘The Afternoon Show’ where it was noted that she was a ‘breath of fresh air’. Since opening her family restaurant ‘The Kosmos Taverna’ in Manchester (1981), she has developed an army of followers through social media, all of which pleaded for her to release her own cookery book. Here it is.
