Connecting with farmers, he identified his favorite Greek products, including a variety of olive oils. Then he astonished Parisian chefs by incorporating eleven different extra virgin olive oils into his recipes.
Mr Alexiou’s wandering inspired the name of his current business and website, Wander by Paris.
