This is an oral history interview with Eleni Kyriazis conducted as part of the Houston History Project. Eleni Kyriazis is a member of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Houston, Texas. She has been the pastry chairwoman for the church’s Greek Festival for twenty-two years, and was the co-chairwoman of the Festival in 2002. I consider her a leader in Houston world of Greek pastries because of her long-standing and successful leadership position at the Festival. The production of Greek pastries and Eleni’s role as chairwoman of pastries is a great place from which historians can analyze women’s role in food in Houston. The recording of the interview runs just over forty minutes.  Eleni Kyriazis was interviewed on October 4, 2010 at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 3511 Yoakum Boulevard, Houston, TX 77006. The interview was conducted Kristi Roberts on behalf of the Oral History of Houston Project, Center for Public History, University of Houston.  The interview is available at M.D. Anderson Library on the main campus of the university.
