Cookbook- Hungry Happens, Mediterranean By Stella Drivas

Cookbook- Hungry Happens Mediterranean by Stella Drivas 

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 100 wholesome, vibrant, and totally achievable Greek-Mediterranean recipes from the creator of Hungry Happens.

Stella Drivas launched Hungry Happens to share the kind of food she grew up eating: fresh, balanced, flavour-packed meals made with real ingredients. Raised in a Greek household where everything was cooked from scratch, Stella’s diet was built on extra virgin olive oil, citrus, leafy greens, pulses, lean meats and seafood, and, naturally, feta. The time-honoured techniques passed down from her grandmother remain at the heart of her cooking today: simple, nourishing dishes made with love.

In Hungry Happens: Mediterranean, Stella brings that philosophy to life with recipes designed for real homes and busy families. Her dishes are Mediterranean-inspired, full of bright flavours, and wonderfully easy to recreate. The book is divided into delicious chapters, including:

• Mornings: Veggie Egg Bites with Feta & Olives; Homemade Yogurt Flatbreads with Smoked Salmon, Avocado & Tzatziki; Cocoa Dutch Baby with Fresh Strawberries
• Sunset Mezze: Sesame-Crusted Baked Feta with Hot Honey; Melitzanosalata Garlic Bread; Balsamic Roasted Strawberries with Whipped Honey-Ricotta
• Hungry in a Hurry: Chicken Saganaki; Crunchy Baked Beef Souvlaki Tacos; Mediterranean Baked Cod
• Go Greek: Loaf-Pan Chicken Gyros; Greek Lamb Fricassee; Skillet Moussaka
• Sweet Spot: Lighter Baklava Cheesecake; Strawberry Tiramisu; Vegan Tahini-Chocolate Chunk Cookies

With warmth, ease, and joy, Stella reminds us that cooking is one of life’s simplest pleasures, and that the best meals are the ones we share with the people we love.
