Description
Make classic Greek recipes with a side of humor and heart.
Stand-up comedian Gus Constantellis draws inspiration for his material and online content from his family, especially his mother, Julia, who became a social media star and Greek mother for an entire online community. And when she died suddenly in August 2023, that community mourned with him. My Greek Moms Recipes is Guss deeply personal tribute, a cookbook in which every dish comes with a story about his mother, an immigrant who never learned English yet managed to achieve the American dream. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, it offers a comedians candid look at grief and family. It will resonate with anyone whos ever had an overbearing but fiercely loving mother, the kind who expresses affection through food, tough love, and a whole lot of opinions. And the 75 recipes themselves are the real dealbecause if there was one thing Julia was known for, besides her razor-sharp humor, it was her unforgettable cooking, including:
A Greek Easter feast
Spanakopita (Spinach Pie)
Tzatziki (Yogurt-Garlic Sauce)
Pastitsio (Baked Ziti)
Avgolemono (Chicken Lemon Soup)
Patates Lemonates (Lemon Potatoes)
Baklava
and much more!
These village-style recipes are tried-and-true Greek classics stripped down to their delicious essentials, making them perfect for cooks of all skills. Whether youre a fan of Greek food or seeking some lighthearted anecdotes, My Greek Moms Recipes is a celebration of classic Greek food and culture, and a love letter to mothers everywhere.
