Created by our beautiful mates Daniel & Luke (@yiayianextdoor), this book is about the power of food bringing people together. Featuring 60 classic Greek recipes (that we know our Hunky Yiayia will approve) & one incredible story of kindness & community.
This book is one that keeps on giving, with all proceeds being donated to the Australian Childhood Foundation.
About the book
When Daniel & Luke Mancuso lost their beloved mother Teresa to domestic violence, the Greek grandmother next door stepped in & started looking after them, passing home-cooked meals over the fence. This simple act of kindness helped Daniel & Luke navigate the fog of grief that followed & captured the hearts of Australia when they started to share the meals & their special relationship with 'Yiayia' on social media.
Now we can all enjoy Yiayia's home cooking, with this collection of traditional recipes from her kitchen & those of Yiayias all around Australia. Yiayia's food is pure comfort: pastries such as spanakopita and tiropita; warming soups made with chickpeas, lentils and beans; hearty pasta & rice dishes such as moussaka and yemista; the unmistakable flavors of barbecued lamb & keftedes; & delicious desserts such as baklava & custard-filled galaktoboureko.
This is a book about the power of food to bring people together. It's about love forged in tragedy, the importance of connection & how simple gestures, such as giving someone a home-cooked meal, can transform lives & restore hope.
