My Big Fat Greek Cookbook: Classic Mediterranean Soul Food

My Big Fat Greek Cookbook: Classic Mediterranean Soul Food Recipes
65 Deliciously Authentic Recipes Straight from Mamaâ€™s Kitchen

My Big Fat Greek Cookbook is a comprehensive, contemporary overview of Greek food, recipes, and family culture as documented by the son of a Greek immigrant as his mother neared the end of her life. â€œThis Greek eating tragedy has a beginning (appetizer), a middle (main course), and an end (dessert),â€ Christos shared. â€œAs my Mama is in her final act, itâ€™s fitting that a quarter of her recipes are desserts. Bon appÃ©tit! Kali Orexi! (Insert the sound of breaking plates here . . .)â€

This is more than just a list of ingredients or series of steps, of course. Itâ€™s filled with simple recipes, gorgeous photographs, traditional meals, memories, and tidbits of information that draw family and friends to Greek tables time and again.

It has everything from iconic egg-lemon sauce to rich soups, sweet pies, and traditional delicacies like rabbit stew and octopus with pasta, accompanied by tales of Greek history and insight into cultural nuances. Recipes include:
- Meatballs (keftedes)
- Lentils (fatkes)
- Stuffed vegetables (gemistra)
- Spinach pie (spanakopita)
- Tzatziki
- Spaghetti with cheese (makaronia me tyri)
- Roast lamb (arni sto fourno)

- And more!
