The Georgantonis Sisters wrote Greek Food for Thought: Recipes for Body and Soul in order to share their parents’ delicious Greek village recipes with the rest of the world while honoring the legacy of their Greek immigrant parents. Their motivation came from growing up Greek in a kitchen filled with love, humor and poignant family stories of keeping the Greek culture alive and well in the Texas Panhandle.
The cookbook contains 100+ recipes of salads, vegetables, soups and stews, entrees, breads, desserts and beverages. Woven throughout the book are family stories that reflect a lifestyle both funny and poignant.
In addition, on each page is a wise saying passed down from generation to generation to impart the wisdom of the Greek culture and way of life.
Add in customs and family traditions in a historical Greek backdrop, and you have a delightful read and a truly amazing and authentic Greek cookbook!

Having had the great privilege of knowing the authors and sampling both their cooking, and their great zest for life, I heartily recommend this wonderful cookbook. It is chock-full of delectable treats of all types, including the best sandwich I ever put in my mouth. It is also an ode to family and faith, telling the beautiful story of love and life that brought this family from Greece to America. It is heart-warming, funny and full of wisdom. The recipes are easy to follow and the beautiful pictures will inspire you to give each a try.
Buy a copy! These great recipes come with a bonus, something of the flavor of Greece and of the Joy these sisters take in always cooking something up!

I bought this book over the weekend at the local Greek Festival. I am not Greek, and I do not know this family. But I absolutely love it! The recipes are attainable and delicious, and the family stories are entertaining!
I just love it. Thank you for sharing your family stories and recipes with us!
