Everything tastes better in Greek. For millions of fans worldwide, Maria Koutsogiannis (@foodbymaria) is the ambassador of all things delicious and Greek. In her highly anticipated debut cookbook, Greek Out, she shares incredibly delicious and nourishing recipes, viral fan favorites, and vivid stories straight from her Greek family and life.

With over 120 fresh and inviting Mediterranean dishes, home cooks can tap into that special something that makes Greek food so Greek, whether it's chicken marinated with plenty of oregano and garlic (and roasted straight gyroscope style), a pita stuffed to the max with spinach, stringy cheese and artichokes; or honey drizzled over phyllo, kebabs, donon uts, and anything else you can think of.

Maria's healthy and energetic cooking style is rooted in Mediterranean tradition but not bound by it. Her recipes often playfully reinterpret Greek classics, such as meatballs served on whipped feta, charred halibut and halloumi kebabs with dates and figs, and a truly impressive baklava ice cream cake. Emphasizing the culinary traditions that have sustained Greeks for generations, Maria draws inspiration from the wholesome, fresh staples of her Greek family's kitchen (greens! beans! olive oil!) and demonstrates how simple, everyday ingredients can create comforting, good-for-you meals that transport you straight to the blue waters of the Aegean Sea.

Filmed on location in Greece to capture the essence of a sun-drenched, seaside lifestyle, Maria's stunning photography and practical meal-prep tips, mix-and-match strategies, and joyful energy are not only fun and inspiring, they make generous cooking easier, encourage people to get together often, and empower them to do more with less. It's time to make your Greek!
