Greek Out

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ¿ Eat the Mediterranean way with these 120 sun-kissed dishes that taste as good as they make you feel."If you're looking for a modern Greek food bible, this is it." -Alex Snodgrass, Creator of The Defined Dish and New York Times Bestselling AuthorEverything tastes better in Greek! For millions of fans worldwide, Maria Koutsogiannis (@foodbymaria) is the ambassador for everything that is tasty and Greek. In her much anticipated first cookbook, Greek Out, she debuts insanely delicious and nourishing recipes, viral fan favorites, and vivid stories straight from her Greek family and life.Through more than 120 fresh and inviting Mediterranean dishes, home cooks can tap into that special something that makes Greek food so Greek-whether it's chicken marinated with loads of oregano and garlic (and roasted upright gyros-style), a pita stuffed to the max with spinach, stringy cheese, and artichokes; or honey drizzled over phyllo, kebabs, donuts, and anything else you can think of.  Maria's high-energy and healthful cooking style is rooted in Mediterranean tradition but not bound by it, her recipes often riffing on Greek classics like meatballs served over whipped feta, charred halibut and halloumi skewers with dates and figs, and a towering baklava ice cream cake that is definitely "worth it". Highlighting culinary traditions that have sustained Greeks for generations, Maria draws inspiration from the healthy, fresh staples of her Greek family's kitchen (greens! beans! olive oil!) and shows how simple, everyday ingredients can create comforting, good-for-you meals that bring you right to the Aegean blue zones of the Mediterranean.Shot on location in Greece to capture the essence of a sun-and-sea life, the stunning photographs and Maria's practical meal-prep tips, mix-and-match strategies, and joyous energy are not only fun and inspiriting-they make it easy to cook generously, gather often, and feel empowered to do more with less. It's time to get your Greek on!
