REVIEWS

Eugenia has taken me back to my childhood when recipes, celebrations and traditions were a huge part of my upbringing. I’ve enjoyed the stories of family, food and culture and the detail that has gone into a year of celebrations. My children now have a copy of this special book to refer to and enjoy. My mother’s koulourakia recipe is a favourite with my daughter and compares very much with Eugenia’s.  Well deserved awards recipient! – Emerald

Just one of the wonderful responses to the news that Greek Life won 2 Gourmand Awards for Australia: ‘What absolutely terrific news …it’s almost like knowing royalty…Mea Culpa ….. Correct that…..Its actually better than that.  This is a real person’s achievements …..Jeanie Pantahos is her name. Well done and well deserved.   Not only that, your mastery of marketing the Greek Life and giving second and third generations, to say nothing of those who know nothing tangible of Greek customs, a convenient and easy to understand synopsis of how great it is to be Greek and proud of it. Thanks for sharing good news. We seem to only hear bad news so this is a wonderful change’. – Michael

‘I was delighted to meet you at the dinner at The Greek on Tuesday evening.
I have been looking for another copy of your truly inspiring book, Greek Life.
My younger son married a wonderful Greek young woman. I knew little about the Greek culture, and I found the marriage ceremony very moving and full of rituals that I did not understand. The chanting, icons and robes were fascinating. How I wish I had read your book before that memorable day. This year my two little grandsons were Baptised in Sydney, fortunately my Greek friend Georgia, encouraged me to read your book. It made such a difference to my understanding of a wonderful day. The importance of God Fathers, the prayers and rituals and that wonderful chanting made me determined to learn more of the culture that we have found ourselves connected to through our grandsons. We are not a religious family but I can appreciate the spiritual essence of church ceremonies.I cannot neglect to mention the traditional recipes for some wonderful celebratory foods that I have enjoyed. I will enjoy trying to cook some of the recipes you have provided in your book. I love the photographs, the way you write and the comprehensive nature of your book. This book is a must for every non Greek Australian especially if they are from another culture, or if they have Greek heritage and they have become disconnected’. – Rosie

‘I had the pleasure of attending a book reading and meeting the lovely Author of Greek Life , Eugenia Pantahos. I sat listening to her stories of life growing up in a Greek household in the Diaspora, and it hit me now profoundly linked and similar our lives and experiences are.

For a Greek family cooking , and eating with others is a huge part of our culture and heritage. It is also Linked to our sense of Philotimo.

Philotimo is a Greek word that is without definition, but impacts the world beyond imagination. The word philotimo comes from the Greek root words “filos,” meaning friend, and “timi,” meaning honor. When Greeks have food , there is life and kefi , what we have in our homes is always on offer to others , no matter how much or how little we have.

Greek Life began as an idea to collaborate into some sort of book format Eugenia’s recipes , and those of her mother. Something to pass onto her three daughters , as well as other family members.

With that idea she formed a beautiful collection of recipes , marking every occassion in the Greek Calendar. Honouring every tradition of the rich Hellenic Culture . Something I for one value greatly and I know future generations will benefit from her explanations , simple recipes and stunning photographs !

Each section of the book starts with a philosophy & makes reference to that seasons celebrations. Each recipe has its own ‘life ‘ and explanation , so you as a reader can understand and appreciate the Greek traditions and customs behind the celebration.

You will find everything from ‘Wedding Bread ‘ to ‘koliva’ in this book , and even references to certain plants and greens we find in our gardens that are used in our cooking and salads.

With Greeks as we know , we don’t really care what you do , but rather ‘ where are you from ?’ . I was curious given I recognised Eugenia’s surname as my mothers relatives from her village. I finally mustered up the courage to put my hand up asking a question that led to where her in laws descended from , and it was indeed my Mothers village ! I so love this connection with Greeks. Greek Life is so much more than a cookbook, given so much of Eugenia’s life and family are intertwined with it. It is also a wonderful reference for Greek Customs and way of life. It sits proudly on my coffee table , thank you Eugenia for writing such a beautiful Anthology for us to pass on to our children‘. – Eleni Tsemtsidis

‘I have just finished reading the Greek Life. I wanted to let you know I enjoyed it immensely, and plan to keep it close as a reference book for all things Greek! It brought back many memories of my childhood and especially my mother who sounds so much like your Mum. I’ve told my 2 young adult daughters its a ‘must’ for  Greek- Australian women! Thank you for sharing your family life and reminding me of how lucky I am to be part of such a beautiful and rich culture’. – Maria Mihailidis, Sydney

‘We have been fortunate to have been one of the first book stores to stock Jeanie’s book Greek Life. It began when Jeanie, one of our regular, treasured customers mentioned to one of our staff that she was in the process of writing a book. When it was completed Jeannie brought in a copy to show me, and I was immediately impressed by the quality of production……..  We were lucky enough to have her here to sign copies in late May, when she brought some samples of her Greek cooking to share. Many customers who have bought her book have given very positive feedback, and come back to buy more as gifts for friends and family members…… Greek Life a beautiful, classy publication’. – Cathie, Dymocks, Burnside
