Christos Sourligas is a multiple award-winning film and
television writer, director and producer. A storyteller at heart,
Christos takes pleasure in entertaining with food, drink and talk.
He travels extensively for work and pleasure, often returning with
hilarious stories, and of course, several recipes to share. He can
also be seen whooping it up on social media. Christos currently
resides in Montreal, Canada.
Evdokia Antginas was the proud mom of Christos
Sourligas. Evdokia was born in the mountainous region of Arcadia,
Greece known for its unspoiled wilderness and idyllic way of life.
Having survived through World War II and the devastating Greek
Civil War, she always kept her head high while toiling away on
factory farms. Having immigrated to Canada in the mid-1960s, she
was married for more than fifty years and had four incredible
children and four equally-awesome grandchildren. Evdokia felt best
at home cooking up Greek and international delights for family and
friends alike. She passed away in 2020.
“Christos has captured the essence of Greek home cooking through
this collection of his mother’s recipes. An easy-to-read cookbook,
emphasizing the simplistic beauty of Greek cuisine.” —Peter Minaki,
author of The Big Book of Mediterranean Recipes
“Bravo, Christos. Documenting the treasure trove of recipes in a
Greek kitchen isn’t easy, but it’s well worth the effort. I can’t
wait to pull up a chair and join the feast!” —Marisa Churchill, Top
Chef competitor and author of Sweet & Skinny
“This cookbook is as much about love as it is about food. A love
for family, a love for Greek food, and most of all, a love for the
author's mother, who expressed her affection for friends and family
through her cooking. Food was her language of love, her recipes
preserved for all time in this touching tribute.” —JB Macatulad,
willflyforfood.net
"Christos shows us how to make healthy and nutritious recipes,
including plant-based meals, and quite honestly inspires us all to
own our culture and heritage. Greek cuisine is such a powerful way
of eating and surely this book will transform us all.” —Maria
Koutsogiannis, author of Mindful Vegan Meals, food stylist,
photographer and writer for FoodByMaria
“Who doesn’t love Greek food? Years ago, I was invited to Greece to
write an article about its cuisine and I had the privilege to stay
with a local Greek family. Within five minutes upon my arrival, I
was instantly transformed from journalist to family member, and I
couldn’t stop eating because everything tasted so good! And that
family’s sense of generosity and pride came rushing back to me when
I read Christos’s family recipes and memories. The Greeks are
masters of simple, accessible, and delicious food. I wish
Christos’s mother would invite me over to try her yummy
galaktoboureko—sweet and crunchy on the outside, and filled with
the perfect custard on the inside!” —Ricardo Larrivée, chef and
owner of Cafe Ricardo, host of Ricardo and Friends (Food
Network), and author of Vegetables First
