And when she died suddenly in August 2023, that community mourned with him. \u003ci\u003eMy Greek Mom's Recipes\u003c\/i\u003e is Gus's deeply personal tribute, a cookbook in which every dish comes with a story about his mother, an immigrant who never learned English yet managed to achieve the American dream. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEqual parts hilarious and heartfelt, this book offers a comedian's candid look at grief and family. It will resonate with anyone who's ever had an overbearing but fiercely loving mother, the kind who expresses affection through food, tough love, and a whole lot of opinions. And the 75 recipes themselves are the real deal--because if there was one thing Julia was known for, besides her razor-sharp humor, it was her unforgettable cooking, including: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Greek Easter feast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanakopita (Spinach Pie)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTzatziki (Yogurt-Garlic Sauce)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePastitsio (Baked Ziti)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvgolemono (Chicken Lemon Soup)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatates Lemonates (Lemon Potatoes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaklava\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese village-style recipes are tried-and-true Greek classics stripped down to their delicious essentials, making them perfect for cooks of all skills.
