Monk Epifanios of Mylopotamos (1956–2020) was not only a master of Athonite cuisine but a spiritual guide who saw cooking as an act of love and prayer. Reviving the ancient vineyards and kitchen of Mylopotamos, he embodied the Athonite tradition of simplicity, fasting, and hospitality, showing that food could nourish both body and soul. His celebrated cookbook and his wines carried the spirit of Mount Athos beyond its borders, reminding the world that mindful preparation of food is a sacred offering, uniting people in faith, humility, and joy.
