'This book? It's Greek. ish. And if you are saying 'ish' with a scrunched-up nose, a squinted eye and a slight wobble of the head or tilt of the hand, then you are on the right track. Truth be told, when it comes to writing recipes, sometimes hiding behind tradition actually makes life easier. You don't like something? Take it up with my ancestors. But these Greekish dishes are all me and I think they're some of the best I have written. I hope that you love them, that they become part of your repertoire and that over time you make them your own.'
Inspired by her Greek-Cypriot roots and Greek travels, Georgina has collected recipes that are easy, bursting with flavour and sure to be cooked on repeat. With fewer ingredients and less stress, the recipes include familiar Mediterranean classics, as well as plenty of Greek-influenced dishes with Georgina's twists.
Standout recipes include:
Fried sesame cheese bites to serve up as an irresistible snack
Tuna, egg and caper salad to make an easy lunch
Sticky aubergine and pomegranate tart for a crowd-pleasing centrepiece
Spanakopita jacket potatoes as a twist on the weeknight classic
One-pot pastisio for an easy meal everyone will love
Meat, fish and veggie kebabs delivering the ultimate barbecue
Baklava cheesecake as a show-stopping dessert
There are easy breakfasts, small dishes and snacks, salads, desserts and even whole sections of recipes inspired by the iconic spanakopita and baklava. Greekish is full of flavour-packed recipes that are easy, enticing and ready to be made your own.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this casual and creative cookbook, Hayden (Nistisima) offers over 100 recipes influenced by her Greek Cypriot heritage and travels, aiming for "low effort, high-reward" family-friendly fare. Savory and sweet breakfast options include some double-duty recipes: meatballs in chili tomatoes with eggs can serve as a "hangover-busting brunch" or a tasty dinner, while baklava French toast is a sweet morning treat that, Hayden notes, also makes a decadent dessert. Alongside classic Greek flavors, there's plenty that's new and intriguing, including grilled watermelon in a "breakfast salad" with sesame seeds, mint, and pistachio, and spanakopita fritters. In the "Things on Sticks" chapter, Hayden presents the expected pork and lamb kebabs as well as some exciting vegetarian options, such as halloumi and tomato kebabs drizzled in honey. Main meals for weekdays or entertaining include braised sausage, lentils, and fennel; an impressive whole roast cabbage with spiced butter; and the more involved kreatopites, little filo-wrapped meat pies. Home cooks in the U.S. should be aware that Hayden uses metric measurements (with a conversion chart at the back of the book), as well as some Britishisms, such as "hob" for stove top. She's a sure-handed guide through potentially unfamiliar ingredients and provides a handy list of sources for hard-to-find specialty ingredients. This inviting collection will appeal to anyone interested in expanding their Mediterranean repertoire.
