My Greek Mom's Recipes: She Died. I Wrote This Cookbook By Gus Constantellis 

Gus Constantellis brings together the flavours of his childhood with the stories that shaped him, all inspired by his beloved mother, Julia.

This is more than a cookbook. It’s a heartfelt tribute.

Blending classic Greek recipes with humour and deeply personal reflections, Gus invites you into his family kitchen, a place where food, love, and laughter were always intertwined. After Julia’s sudden passing in August 2023, the same online community that embraced her as everyone’s “Greek mum” shared in his grief, making this book both intimate and universal.

Across 75+ recipes, you’ll find the dishes that defined a Greek home: Spanakopita, tzatziki, pastitsio, avgolemono, Greek lemon potatoes, baklava… and so much more.

These are village-style recipes, simple, honest, and made to be shared, perfect for cooks of all levels.

But what truly sets this book apart is the soul behind it. Each recipe is paired with stories of motherhood, migration, loss, resilience, and the kind of humour only a Greek mum can deliver.

My Greek Mom’s Recipes is a celebration of Greek food and culture and above all, a beautiful love letter to mothers everywhere.
