Yiayia: Regional Recipes and Stories from Greece's Grandmothers celebrates the rich diversity of Greek home cooking, featuring feasting and sharing dishes—many of them vegetarian—passed down through generations. Think stuffed zucchini from Lesvos, a Tinian fourtalia, Corfiot spicy bourdeto stew, Ionian pasta, Cretan dakos salad, and watermelon cake from Milos.

While Greek cuisine is beloved worldwide, most people’s knowledge rarely extends beyond moussaka, Greek salad, and tzatziki. Yiayia opens the door to the true breadth of Greece’s food culture—spanning its 6,000 islands and mainland—through intimate stories and authentic recipes from the grandmothers who keep these traditions alive.

With stunning location photography and heartwarming interviews, this book invites you to explore the flavors of Greece and meet the remarkable women behind them.
