The Cokones Project
A Creative Gastronomy & Cypriot Lifestyle Brand
A creative culinary platform combining gastronomy, design and storytelling to create authentic experiences, collaborations and ideas for brands, organisations and communities.
Food is more than a recipe.
It is tradition – creativity- culture -storytelling – connection
Cokones was created from a love for Cypriot cuisine, creativity and human connection.
What started as a passion for sharing traditional recipes with visitors from around the world has evolved into a creative culinary platform where food, culture and design come together.
Today, Cokones create meaningful experiences that celebrate Cyprus, its flavours and the stories behind every dish.
Meet Andri | Founder & Creative Mind Behind Cokones
With many years of professional experience in graphic design and visual communication, a lifelong love for cooking and certified training in culinary arts and gastronomy tourism, she brings together creativity, food, culture and experience design.
Andri created Cokones with a clear vision: to share Cyprus with the world through authentic food, meaningful stories and memorable human connections.
Under her direction, Cokones has welcomed hundreds of local and international guests through cooking experiences, corporate team activities, festivals, private events and cultural collaborations. She leads the development of new concepts, recipes, partnerships, workshops and creative experiences, connecting Cypriot tradition with contemporary ideas and international influences.
Today, Andri is developing Cokones beyond its original cooking-class format into a broader Cypriot gastronomy and lifestyle brand, while remaining deeply rooted in the warmth, generosity and authenticity of the Cypriot table.
“I believe every recipe carries a story, and every table has the power to bring people together.” – Andri
ROOTED IN TRADITION
Behind every traditional recipe there is a person, a memory and a story.
Mama Thekla represents the warmth, knowledge and authenticity of Cypriot home cooking passed from generation to generation.
Together with Andri, she helps preserve the traditional flavours and techniques that form the heart of every Cokones experience.
Tradition provides the roots. Creativity allows the story to continue.
Our mission is to help brands tell those stories through authentic food experiences, meaningful collaborations and creative content inspired by Cyprus.
