Imagine bringing the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean into your kitchen every single day—without the complexity or time commitment. Greekish: Everyday Recipes with Greek Roots makes this dream a reality, offering a collection of approachable yet deeply flavorful dishes that have earned this cookbook a place among the year's best.
This isn't just another cookbook filled with complicated techniques and hard-to-find ingredients. Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by the Los Angeles Times, Esquire, NPR, and Table Magazine, and selected as a Jamie Oliver Cookbook Club Pick, Greekish delivers on its promise of simple Mediterranean cooking that feels both authentic and fresh. Award-winning author Georgina Hayden draws from her Greek-Cypriot roots and travels to create recipes that respect tradition while feeling modern and approachable.
Every recipe in Greekish is designed with the home cook in mind. You'll find dishes that come together with minimal fuss but maximum flavor—think crispy cauliflower with herby dressing, chicken thighs braised with figs and olives, or the unexpectedly brilliant baklava French toast. Georgina has mastered the art of balancing familiar Mediterranean ingredients like olive oil, herbs, halloumi, tahini, and honey in ways that feel both new and comforting.
Whether you need a quick weeknight dinner or want to impress on the weekend, Greekish has you covered. The cookbook spans light summer salads like watermelon-feta-cucumber to hearty winter dishes and sweet treats like chamomile-honey cake. Each recipe is tested to ensure it delivers those craveable Mediterranean flavors that keep you coming back for more, with fewer ingredients and less stress than you might expect.
Perfect for anyone who loves Mediterranean food but feels intimidated by traditional cooking techniques, Greekish opens up a world of delicious, satisfying meals that become instant family favorites.
