This book is meant to help the average home cook find easy Greek recipes to add to their weeknight rotations. Some show-stopping recipes would work well when hosting or for special occasions. She also provides a list of menus for all sorts of events, from fancy parties to daily dinners.
GreekIsh certainly succeeds in being a useful resource for the average person cooking for their family. The book is laid out nicely and the section dividers list what to expect in each section. Photographs are beautiful and generally show a styled final dish, so if you are one to compare, this book would work well for you.

Her language and tone are very informal, which continues to make the book feel like home. Each recipe has a story, either what it means to the author personally or how beloved the recipe is to the Greek Cypriot community. Overall, it’s a great book with unique recipes for a home cook to try daily.

The one thing that the book is missing, in my opinion, is a total time count on the recipe page. Even a general estimate helps a home cook gauge how long they need to start if they need dinner on the table at a certain time.

Gorgeous cookbook! The recipes look incredible good and the photos are mouthwatering. I have not tried the recipes yet so I can confirm how they taste but the design and how easy to follow this book is I can. Many delicious looking recipes that I definitely wanna try at home.

Greekish is a great introduction to Greek recipes for home chefs wanting to expand their horizons. There are lots of substitutions and shortcuts that make traditionally daunting (to me, anyway) recipes a little more possible. There are lots of possibilities that will make them accessible to people who didn't grow up making traditional Greek food at home.

I definitely want to try the Baklava cheesecake. Holy moly, decadent! Everything I like put together in one dessert! YUM.

Great cookbook that is beautiful and holds so many delish recipes. Easy to read and a joy to cook from.

Love Greek Food? Georgina Hayden has released an excellent cookbook filled with mouthwatering recipes for all kinds of dishes with Greek nuances, Greekish: Everyday Recipes with Greek Roots . This cookbook includes many classic Greek dishes, as well as dozens of innovative dishes that are less known.

All of the recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions, making it easy for both beginners and advanced cooks. There is a chapter on ingredients for those who aren’t familiar, which is helpful. There are several lamb dishes that are tempting, especially since those who haven’t grown up Greek (me) will learn to cook it properly. The Greek flavors are different than many of us are used to, and quite exciting.

One thing that makes this cookbook stand out is that it includes beautiful, professional photographs of most of the dishes. This makes it difficult to decide what to make next, and most of the dishes are extremely appealing. There are appetizers, salads, breads, side dishes, and fabulous desserts that are new and innovative to those of us who aren’t as familiar with Greek cooking as we should be.

All told, this book is inspiring, and I’m trying dozens of new Greek dishes for the next few weeks because the recipes look so good. This is an excellent cookbook.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

This is a beautiful, colorful book of Greek and Greek-inspired recipes. From classics to classics with a twist, it has recipes for all the courses of your meal.

What more do you need to know? This recipe and more can be found in Greekish by Georgina Hayden. The recipes evoke the taste and memories of Greek food eaten in the past, with recipes that are easy to follow, using ingredients found in most markets.

I’ll be adding Greekish to my cookbook collection.

Very highly recommended: five stars

What a find! So many new ideas and flavor combinations for every type of food for every time of day! Please give this book a look and see for yourself. Two thumbs way up!

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book.

This cookbook is full of Greek recipes with modern twists. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes are enticing. Hello, did someone say Baklava Cheesecake? Yes, please!

This is a beautiful cookbook full of so many Greek-ish treats from savory to sweet. There are a number of vegetarian recipes and plenty with meat--something for everyone! I can't wait to try a lot of the dishes. The directions were clear and the photographs stunning. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

Greekish where have you been all my life?!

This cookbook was wicked. It had recipes for everything I knew I wanted, and recipes I didn’t know I needed. Easy instructions, fresh interpretations on my favourite kind of food outside my own ethnic cuisine. Delicious, gorgeously photographed, with instructions that excite not intimidate. Can’t wait to buy my own copy after this ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A bright and gorgeous cookbook that has me daydreaming about summer time. Aside from the photography and design that draws the reader in, this also seems like an accessible and very usable cookbook. The author does an excellent job of offering alternative ingredients to the more Greek specific ones that might be less accessible. I'm planning on making the Marinated Feta right away and the Lemon and Oregano Chicken with a feta dip jumped out at me as well. Excited to make this book a part of my cookbook collection, I have a feeling it will be dog eared and splattered in no time.

The title tells you all you need to know: These recipes are more “Greek-ish” than something out of Aunt Sophia’s kitchen — and that’s OK! A cook with a 9-to-5 job doesn’t have the time to slow-roast something for hours or pit dozens of olives or scour four different pans.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and Bloomsbury USA in exchange for an honest review.

This cookbook is everything an American wanting to try Greek food and flavors needs. It's comprehensive, easy to follow and has delicious looking photos. Though the food is foreign, along with some of it's ingredients it is easy to see a beginner cook making these recipes. I will definitely be getting this cookbook and making multiple things from it. It even has a good selection of vegetarian and vegan recipes.

The photos are stunning! The layout of each recipe looks so clean and is easy to read. I love that at the top of each recipe, it also indicates whether it's vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. Also, the recipes themselves seem yummy and authentically Greek! I look forward to testing out a lot of these!

Greekish is a beautiful cookbook, from the cover to the inside photographs. Not just beautiful to look at, the recipes are doable with accessable ingredients and clear instructions.
The whole chapter on Baklava made me want to have a go at all of it and I am planning to make the Afternoon Chamomile and Honey Cake for my family today!
This will definitely be a welcome addition to my cookbook shelf and I look forward to cooking some Greekish meals this summer!

A mix of Greek/Cypriot recipes that are easy and appeal to those who like Mediterranean ingredients. There are old and new recipes, and the book is loaded with photos that will make you hungry.

Grilled watermelon salad anyone? How about cheese dishes? Or Greek-style breads. I made me salivate before I even made the first recipe. Lots of fun in this one, and worth a buy and at least a dozen tries.

Greekish is a bright and colourful Greek inspired cookbook with beautiful photos and mouth-watering recipes. I really liked that the recipes are inspired by Greek flavours and dishes, but are often simplified for everyday eating.

This the the best Greek Canadian cookbook ever, as a non Greek I love these recipes they are close to traditional Greek recipes that my Greek friends make and insist I try but so much better.
