Caption: OPA! I WROTE A BOOK! Comment ‘Greek Out’ and I’ll send you the PRE-ORDER link directly to your DM’S or you can find it directly linked in my bio! This isn’t just ANY book, this is GREEK OUT! The Greek cookbook I wish existed earlier. The one you’ll reach for every single week. The one that will change the way you cook, eat, and gather. This isn’t just recipes. This is 120 recipes rooted in tradition, tested to perfection, and designed to actually work in your kitchen. It’s my childhood. My summers in Greece. My parents’ sacrifices. From my family’s table, passed down, perfected, and now shared with you. Every dish is drenched in sunshine, shaped by generations, and built to bring people together. And I mean this when I say it: there is no other Greek cookbook like this. Every recipe has a photo. Every page pulls you in. Every bite will take you somewhere. This book will make you feel something. Greek Out will be available everywhere books are sold in September, but is AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER RIGHT NOW. Why would I pre-order now when I can just order it then? LET ME TELL YOU WHY! Pre-ordering might seem like a small thing, but it is actually the most important part. You are not only supporting my journey, but you’re also helping me bring this book to life. 1. If GREEK OUT receives a large amount of PRE-ORDERS, it will motivate retailers to order more - ensuring GREEK OUT ends up on more bookshelves! 2. The more pre-orders GREEK OUT gets, the more likely we are to meet in person!!!!!! It will help get me on tour! 3. Anyone who pre-orders GREEK OUT will receive exclusive E-BOOKS of UNRELEASED, NEVER SEEN BEFORE RECIPES, GIVEAWAYS (kind of insane ones) and INSANE FREE THINGS! If you’ve ever wanted to experience Greece, not just the food, but the feeling, this is it. Preorder now. You’re going to want this in your kitchen. #Greece #greekfood #greekrecipes #Greek

Caption: INTRODUCING GREEK OUT!!!!!! My cookbook (WHAT!!!! CRAZY!!!) is now available for PRE-ORDER! Comment “GREEK OUT” and I’ll DM you the link to preorder. After 2.5 years of blood, sweat and tears, I am SO EXCITED to finally share with you a piece of my heart and a taste of my home. I grew up watching my mom, aunties and γιαγιά making Greek food. No recipes, no measurements, just instinct. 2.5 years in the making, this book is a curation of over 120 of my family’s recipes I was raised on, but these aren’t just recipes to me. It’s my childhood, my favourite memories, my therapy and what made me who I am today. There is truly nothing like it on the market. To think this all happened because I finally started showing up unapologetically myself, and as a first-generation immigrant, it took me a minute lol. My viral series “ALL THINGS GREEK” brought me back to who I was. From the beginning, I knew the recipes in this book needed to be rooted in tradition, easy to make and inspired by what we all know and love, but with a Greek Mommy’s authentic twist. These recipes feel like your Greek grandma made them just for you in her kitchen. If you’ve been here from the beginning (or even just found me), this is something we made together and wouldn’t have been possible without you, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I hope my journey inspires you to push against the norms and go after your dreams no matter what society makes you believe. Preordering might seem like a small thing, but it is actually the most important part. You are not just ordering a book, you’re helping bring it to life! Preorder your copy at the link in my bio! LET’S GREEK OUT BABY!!! #greece #greekfood #greekrecipes #greek

Caption: ‼️ 🚨 ⏰ Not All Extra Virgin Olive Oils are made the same. You need JUICE for when quality counts and you need to impress your 🇬🇷 friends (in fact, they’ll be blown away). Did I mention this is imported from GREECE! Comment ‘oil’ if you want to learn more about my new extra virgin olive oil, JUICE!

Caption: Have you tried adding hard-torn sausage to your salads? I did, and it should be all the hype! Comment “recipe,” and I’ll send you our family method to save and print. This orzo chickpea salad is the kind of dish you make once, and it’ll immediately become a staple in your kitchen. It’s hearty, fresh, and built like a full meal. It has roasted chickpeas and chicken sausage, providing protein, while the honey-mustard-turmeric dressing (a riff on my viral ladolemono) adds brightness and depth. This lemon orzo salad situation is perfect for meal prep, picnics, or those “what’s for dinner” nights when you want something that actually satisfies. And if you love recipes like this, you’ll fall head over heels for my cookbook GREEK OUT, available for pre-order now at the link in my bio! Served with my family’s viral Ladolemono (and in my @sezane blouse)! Lemon and olive oil sauce, made with minimal ingredients but the highest quality you can find. And if you know, you know: the olive oil is everything. That’s why I use my single-origin extra virgin olive oil — JUICE. 1 large lemon, zested and juiced (about ¼ cup juice) 1 tsp @diamondcrystalsalt salt ¼ tsp ground pepper ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tsp @frenchs mustard 1 small clove of garlic, pressed ¼ tsp ground turmeric 1 tbsp liquid honey (my own brand HUN-NEE) #greece #greekfood #greekrecipes

Caption: From viral pita recipes to accidentally building my Greek olive oil brand, JUICE 🫒 What started as one video turned into a community of 2.6M+ and a business powered by @Shopify. I’ve learned that content can be more than content — it can become a brand, a product, and a real connection with people. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, this is your sign to start 🤍 #ShopifyPartner Comment ‘recipe,’ and I’ll send you the recipe for my viral pitas that started it all, along with the link to my extra virgin olive oil, JUICE, that fuels the taste and beauty of it all! One thing that’s genuinely helped along the way is Shopify Sidekick. It’s taken answering questions I didn’t know the answers to off my plate and made running the backend of my business feel way less overwhelming. #greekfood #pita #greekrecipes

Caption: This Greek braised beef with my famous Greek lemon potatoes is pure Sunday comfort. Slow-roasted, bathed in lemon and garlic, and all made in one pan, it’s the kind of dish that fills your kitchen with the aromas I grew up with. Bright, tender, and deeply nostalgic, this is what I make when I need a little taste of home. Full recipe below 🤍🍋 2.5-3 lbs boneless beef chuck roast @beefitswhatsfordinner @diamondcrystalsalt and ground pepper 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (only ever using JUICE) 5 large garlic cloves, smashed 3-4 shallots, thinly sliced (about 2 cups sliced) 680 grams (1.5 lbs) whole baby potatoes ¼ cup white wine 1 tsp lemon zest 1 tsp dried oregano ½ tsp dried thyme 2 bay leaves ½ tsp ground pepper ½ tsp kosher salt ¼ cup lemon juice 3 cups chicken broth, 3 tsp @betterthanbouillon Chicken Base with 3 cups water 2 small vines of cherry tomatoes For serving slices of lemon 4-6 pieces of feta cheese fresh chopped dill fresh chopped parsley Preheat the oven to 325F. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with a paper towel. Season generously with kosher salt and ground pepper on all sides. To an oven-safe dutch oven, add 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the beef until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside. Turn to medium heat and add the smashed garlic and sliced shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaves, ground pepper and kosher salt. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and stirring / cooking until most of the wine has evaporated. Then add the lemon juice and chicken broth and stir to combine. Nestle the seared beef into the pot along with any juices from the plate. Bring to a simmer and once simmering, turn off the heat and place the lid on the pot.
