Greek Life and Boston, USA

Greek Life and Boston, USA

Welcome to GL!

Last month, Greek Life was featured in an online newspaper in the City of Boston, Massachusetts. I was so happy to see the publication, and truly sometimes I simply feel amazed by the support that I’ve received to date.

What you need to know NOW about Greek LifeFor the lovely people in Boston and beyond, If you would like to join the celebration that is Greek Life, than please visit my website where you can find links to the softcover version of Greek Life that celebrates family, culture, and food.

Within its pages, you will find mouthwatering recipes for the food prepared when observing cultural traditions, delicious and nutritious Lenten food, seafood, meat, and celebration foods, interwoven with thought inspiring philosophy, and beautiful full colour photography that takes readers on an intimate journey through the Greek way of life.

Greek Life is like no other cookbook. It is filled with cultural traditions and explains the when, why, and how of observing the timeless and meaningful Greek traditions. Be transported by the story of family as it unfolds, and be inspired by the Mediterranean Diet/Lifestyle and the healthy way of eating that is respected the world over as the most desirable and beneficial way of eating and enjoying life.

Eating the Greek way!

The Mediterranean Diet is more than food, it is a lifestyle that encompasses socialising, working, incidental exercise through gardening and dancing, enjoying coffee, oh and a few glasses of wine, eating seasonally, having very little dairy, enjoying seafood, but having limited meat.

It is mostly a vegetarian and vegan way of life especially when observing times of Lent and fasting.

Of course there are times that are celebrated throughout the calendar year, and we all know what that looks like! A Greek Feast, is like no other. Tables set with the most colourful assortment of food usually dressed in olive oil, lemon juice and oregano (or other homegrown herb) , aromatically prepared and slow cooked meats, mouthwatering sweets, wine, the elixir of the gods, and lots of kefi!

So, what are you waiting for? Get your copies of Greek Life at Amazon now and join the celebration that is called Greek Life!

New Year

Welcome to Greek Lifestyle!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope that 2014 is filled with all of life’s blessings and niceties.

On the last day of 2013 I baked a delicious orange infused Vasilopita ready for our New Years celebrations. Following our unique Greek traditions I hid a foil wrapped coin inside.

We went our for a lovely New Years dinner and then headed to the river where we chose a comfy spot placed our blanket on the ground and sat back to relax and  view the amazing fireworks that welcomed in the New Year.  It was such a lovely and memorable evening.

On New Years morning we cut our Vasilopita starting with the eldest member down to the youngest member of our family. My husband was the recipient of the lucky slice. I wish him good luck for the year ahead and beyond!

New Years is a time of reflection and to think about how we can all make a difference to the lives of those closest to us and to our communities.  What unique gifts do you have to offer?

I hope that your dreams and aspirations come true!
