About me
My name is Spiri and I am a Melbourne-based writer. I live with my husband, two children, and a bunch of pets. I love cooking, eating, reading, talking, laughing, playing, writing and daydreaming. Not always in that order.
About this blog
The idea for the Tribal Tomato was born about a decade ago. I was reminiscing about an early experience of eating a tomato in my mum's village in Greece. The tomato was on a wedge of homebaked bread, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with oregano. I was surrounded by people I loved, eating good food that was grown in the soil around me. I remember feeling very self-contained, and yet a part of something bigger than myself. As I was only seven, I couldn't really articulate it at the time. Now that I can, I am writing this blog to capture the sentiments reflected in that memory. The Tribal Tomato is about food, family and connection.
About the photos
You will notice many lovely photos in the blog. Most are taken by my very talented husband George Mifsud, who also creates the beautiful things you see in our garden. If you like what you see, check out more of his work at Mifsud Photography.
