INTERVIEWER

 With me today i have Marianna Leivaditaki. head

chef of the Morito restaurant in Hackney …. what
was your favourite food when you were a child?

 At home we ate a funny mixture, because of my

parents. Fresh fish, bacon and eggs for breakfast
on Sundays, and traditional apple pies.but my
favorite was fish. We ate fish ever day, which my
dad caught. in fact my dad still goes fishing every
night.

 Yes, we were very lucky because nit all families

could do that – could eat every day. evebn in an
island fish is expensive unfortunately.

 did you dad catch fish for the family or for the
restaurant?

 For both. except for lobsters. when he caught a

lobster he never sold it, it was always for us. We
boiled it and ate it with lemon and olive oil. you
don’t need anything exept lemon and olive oil
when fish or seafood is really fresh. That is how I
cook lobsters nowadays in the restaurant, in
Morito.

 Were you interested in cooking when you were a

child?

 Oh, yes. I spent every evening in our restaurant,

and instead of playing with other children I usually
helped in the kitchen. I wrote down recipies which I
wanted to cook for the family in a small blue
notebook.

 so your love of food and cooking came form your

parents?

 from my parents and also from my aunt, and from

many inspiring ladies who surronded me when I
was growing up. My aunt, Thia Koula, had
animals, a garden, oilve treesand grapes. In sumer
I often spent all day with her. she knew
eveerything about wild food in crete. She only ate
what she had grown or found or made herself. It is
such a beautiful way to eat.

 Did you ever eat out as a child?

 Never in the evening, because our restaurant was
open for dinner seven day a week, but
occasionally my mun used to buy me and my
brothere souvlaki for lunch, a sort of greek
sandwich with pitta bread. inside it has pork,
tomato, red onion and lots of thick yughurt.
