Marianna Leivaditaki

I was born and raised in Chania, to a Cretan fisherman dad and a Scottish mum. I spent most of my childhood in our family seafood restaurant by the sea. We ate the freshest fish everyday, caught by my dad; one man in one boat every single night.

I left Chania to study in England and after studying and travelling I came back to doing what I love most, cooking. Cooking at Moro and now Morito has been one of the best experiences of my life and I consider myself lucky to have a job that I love more and more every single day.
