Helen Adourian is the successful blogger and entrepreneur at Mediterranean Meals for Moms. She is also a licensed cosmetologist and fashion consultant. When she married her husband John, they traveled extensively which gave her extra time to discover and refine her true culinary passion and creativity. Having two sets of twins since then, Helen has made it her goal to create a variety of healthy and organic foods for her family as often as possible. “I am a first-generation American-Armenian, and I like to incorporate and create traditional dishes and recipes from my family’s Turkish-Armenian background and heritage.”
“I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and live and work in California. My parents were both born in Turkey; my father is from Kayseri, and my mother is from Istanbul. Kayseri is renowned for its culinary specialties such as manti, pastirma and sucuk. Manti is the most popular dish in Kayseri for the local people and tourists. My in-laws are from Dikranagerd, and I also post special family recipes that I’ve learned from my husband’s relatives.”
“I love to cook and bake especially traditional meals and baked goods from my Armenian culture. My paternal grandparents were a big part of my childhood and I remember them when I cook and bake because I remember the fondest memories with them in the kitchen. Our family likes this sweet biscuit bread (choreg) any time of year, and it’s delicious served with butter, honey, jam, and Armenian coffee or tea,” adds Helen.
