Meet the Soybird Family – Plant-Based with Heart

At Soybird, food is more than just nourishment. It’s a shared experience, a spark for creativity, and a path to connection. What began as a small cooking school in 2023 in Athens has grown into something deeper: a home for plant-based exploration, celebration, and togetherness.

Our Home Living Kitchen is where guests become friends, strangers become collaborators, and every recipe becomes a memory. But none of it would be possible without the passionate team behind the scenes—and in the kitchen.

If you're searching for Cooking Classes in Athens or simply looking for the bester veganer Kochkurs in Athen, we’d love to introduce you to the people who make Soybird truly special.

🌿 Your Hosts Behind the Best Vegan Cooking Class in Athens

Roman Witt

Roman Witt – Founder

Roman is the founder and heart of Soybird. With over ten years of experience as a plant-based chef and educator, he launched Kurkuma - Germany’s first vegan cooking school - in Hamburg in 2015. In 2023, he brought his next vision to life in Athens: a space that feels like home, where cooking is free from pressure and full of joy. Roman’s philosophy? No rules, no stress - just real food, real people, and real connection.

Alexandra Sarigianni

Alexandra Sarigianni – Vegan Head Chef

With more than 15 years of experience in plant-based cooking, Alexandra brings depth and soul to every Soybird class. She leads with calm confidence, offering guests a taste of traditional Greek flavors reimagined in a mindful, modern way. Beyond the kitchen, she guides powerful 9D Breathwork sessions in Athens, helping people find presence and peace.

Dimitra Chatziioannou

Dimitra Chatziioannou – Vegan Chef

First to arrive in the morning (and always with great coffee), Dimitra is the calm heart of the kitchen. She’s behind many of Soybird’s most-loved vegan desserts and pastries. Her passion for baking is matched only by her love of nature and travel—especially to Scandinavia, where she draws inspiration from minimalist living and classic sweets.

Mirka brings creative energy and holistic insight to Soybird. With a background in plant-based nutrition, performance, and movement, she connects food with body and mind. A trained actor and dancer, she’s lived and worked across Europe—and now she’s lighting up our kitchen with rhythm, balance, and a lot of heart.
