Hi, I’m Misha! Thanks for visiting my food website! I’d love to share Athena Pot with you and all the wonders of the Greek cuisine and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
HISTORY
The idea of Athena Pot started in 2019, when I had just bought an Instant Pot and couldn’t find any Greek recipes for it online. That started the journey of practicing traditional beloved Greek recipes and adapting them to this new cooking form.
In May 2020, I posted our Instant Pot Greek Lentil Soup recipe on an Instant Pot Facebook group and was shocked to see the recipe go viral. I had dozens of people commenting, messaging me, and sharing how much they loved the recipe. I was super excited to see everyone’s photos of their meal. This was the moment that I realized I should be sharing our recipes with the world. Only in the past year have I started working on uploading the recipes online. It’s a long process to perfect them, photograph them, and then write about them. At the moment, I have dozens of recipes that are waiting to be posted.
WEBSITE GOALS
The traditional Mediterranean diet has long been world-renowned as one of the healthiest lifestyles. Over the years, I have successfully been raising my young family on a Mediterranean Diet. I’m a firm believer that with a little bit of effort, most people are able to follow these delicious and nutritious practices, all while saving time and cost.
Athena Pot will feature mostly Greek recipes, mostly made with the Instant Pot, but also everything in between! After all, not all recipes can be adapted to it and we do eat other recipes as well. This website is growing and I will try to post recipes regularly. Besides recipes, I will be sharing tips on how to easily follow the Mediterranean Diet that can be adapted to any lifestyle and budget. I also make cooking tutorial videos, which will feature on my YouTube channel and social media pages, and .
If there is a recipe you would like to see, or have any feedback on recipes, or if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at misha@athenapot.com. I hope you enjoy our recipes and are able to bring a little bit of Greece to your table. Smile and Enjoy!

I’m also a self-taught food blogger and run this website. I enjoy the whole process related to running a food website (although the technical side still drives me a little bananas!) and am loving communicating with people who have tried the recipes. I love everything related to food and am proud to say I’ve raised two little foodies who are the official taste testers and the biggest supporters of what I do.
