My interview with the amazing Peter Goers

Learn the story behind Greek Life

Today on my blog I’m sharing my interview with the amazing Peter Goers from Radio ABC891 Adelaide. Learn more about my book Greek Life, why I wrote it, and what sets it apart from every other Greek cookbook.

You see its more than a cook book, it’s an anthology of Greek customs and traditions, including those around cultural events like New Years, Easter and Christmas, and weddings, baptisms and honouring our loved ones. You’ll learn the reason why Greeks celebrate life the way the do!

Greek Life is presented beautifully with amazing photography, family recipes including vegan and vegetarian (perfect for times of Lent), thought provoking philosophy and the story of family, and is available as an eBook for those who love to take their reading and recipes with them!

Join in the celebration that is Greek Life…Opa!

Enjoy!

Christmas with Culture

CHRISTMAS WITH CULTURE

I’m so proud to have 4 generations of my family and my book Greek Life (family, culture, food) featured in the iconic December/January holiday edition of SA Life Magazine. This gorgeous stylised photo was sent to me from The Stylist Loves. Isn’t it just amazing?

The pièce de résistance at our Christmas table is the Avgolemono Soup. Although we celebrate Christmas in Summer, our family traditions has always meant that we start our lunch with this thick and creamy egg and lemon soup prepared with a combination of chicken and turkey stock. Hosting Christmas is always a large event for our family as we share our Christmas table(s) with anywhere between 35 and 50+ people! A true ‘act of love’!

Be sure to get your copies of Greek Life as a gift for yourself and your loved ones. This unique and timeless cultural Greek cookbook is a true celebration of the Greek way of life, the Mediterranean Lifestyle, meaningfulness and connectedness, and supported by thought provoking philosophy and beautiful full colour photography.
