my cypriot table

by: Irene Matys

Italpasta is proud to be featured in Irene Matys’ debut cookbook, My Cypriot Table.

A passionate advocate for farm-to-table cooking, Irene is a recipe developer, food stylist, and photographer whose culinary roots run deep. A proud Greek Cypriot who came to Canada as a refugee in 1976, she brings her heritage to life through vibrant, soul-nourishing dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. 

“The story of Italpasta resonates deeply with me because it embodies the connection between food, family, and heritage. Just like founder Joseph Vitale, I discovered my love for food in my mama’s and yiayia’s kitchens, where cherished recipes were passed down through generations. As a passionate cook who values quality ingredients, I will always use Italpasta in my recipes. It’s 100% Canadian-owned and operated, made with 100% Canadian wheat — authentic and delicious.”
