Christina is a Vegan lifestyle coach, plant-based chef, and certified mindfulness facilitator. She created CVK to share the food and philosophy passed down through generations of Greek women—and to help others build a soulful relationship with food, body, and earth.
Why Conscious Cooking?
There’s a rhythm in the kitchen that speaks to something older than trends. A quiet remembering that happens when our hands meet the earth’s abundance—when we chop, stir, taste, and tend with care.
​
Conscious cooking is seasonal vegan cooking guided by the land and the wisdom passed down through generations. It’s a return to ancestral food traditions—where meals were rooted in nourishment, not noise. Where food was a daily ritual. A conversation. A ceremony.
​
Here, you’ll find Greek mountain herbs alongside Blue Zone longevity meals, slow-cooked stews that follow Ayurvedic principles, and whole food plant-based recipes that honor your rhythm through the seasons.
​
This is a kitchen of presence, not perfection.
A space to cook, connect, and remember who you are.​
What We’re Rooted In
The soil of this kitchen is rich with story, rhythm, and care. These are the principles that guide how we cook, teach, and gather.
Seasonal Vegan Cooking
We cook in rhythm with the earth, letting the seasons guide what ends up on our plates. Spring greens, summer herbs, autumn harvests—each meal becomes a way of honoring the now.
Greek + Blue Zone Inspired Recipes
Drawing from the longevity traditions of the Greek Blue Zones, we focus on slow, nourishing meals made with simple ingredients, connection, and care.
Plant-Based Whole Foods
We center real, living ingredients—roots, grains, herbs, legumes—foods that fuel not just the body, but the heart and soul.
Ancestral Food Wisdom
There’s power in the foods our elders knew by heart. We look to the past—not to stay there, but to carry forward the nourishment, ritual, and stories held in each dish.
Mindful Kitchen Practices
Cooking is one of the oldest forms of meditation. Here, we turn meal prep into a grounding ritual—stirring with intention, chopping with presence, tasting with gratitude.
Accessible + Inclusive Nourishment
Everyone deserves to feel welcome at the table. We hold space for diverse backgrounds, financial access points, and unique paths of learning and unlearning.
This September, I’m returning to the Mani Peninsula of Greece—and you’re invited.
The Reconnect with Nature Retreat is a 5-day plant-based immersion in one of the most breathtaking, wild, and ancestral regions of Greece. Together, we’ll cook seasonal meals, share stories under olive trees, explore village life, and reconnect with the rhythms of the land and our own bodies.
​
Whether you’ve been longing to visit Greece or feel called to step into deeper nourishment—this is your invitation to return to your roots.
