Yiayia Next Door by Daniel Mancuso, Luke Mancuso<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yiayia Next Door<\/a><\/strong> is a book about the power of food to bring people together, featuring 60 classic Greek recipes and one incredible true story of kindness and community<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Daniel and Luke Mancuso lost their beloved mother Teresa to domestic violence, the Greek grandmother next door stepped in and started looking after them, passing home-cooked meals over the fence. This simple act of kindness helped Daniel and Luke navigate the fog of grief that followed, and captured the hearts of Australia when they started to share the meals and their special relationship with ‘Yiayia’ on social media.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we can all enjoy Yiayia’s home cooking, with this collection of traditional recipes from her kitchen and those of yiayias all around Australia. Yiayia’s food is pure comfort: pastries such as spanakopita and tiropita; warming soups made with chickpeas, lentils, and beans; hearty pasta and rice dishes such as moussaka and yemista; the unmistakable flavors of barbecued lamb and keftedes; and delicious desserts such as baklava and custard-filled galaktoboureko.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dish is very close to Yiayia\u2019s heart, as it was taught to her by our mum, Teresa. Like Yiayia, Mum had a fondness for cooking and, more importantly, for making sure we were always well fed and cared for. One of the many things we miss about our mum is her cooking. We are very fortunate that she passed this recipe on to Yiayia, so we can still enjoy it to this day and help the void in our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
