What’s Inside

Everything Tastes
Better in Greek!

For millions of fans worldwide, Maria Koutsogiannis (@foodbymaria) is the ambassador for everything that is tasty and Greek. In her much anticipated first cookbook, Greek Out, she debuts insanely delicious and nourishing recipes, viral fan favorites, and vivid stories straight from her Greek family and life.


Through more than 100 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 loads of oregano and garlic (and roasted upright gyros-style), a pita stuffed to the max with spinach, stringy cheese, and artichokes; or honey drizzled over phyllo, kebabs, donuts, and anything else you can think of.  

A woman in a flowing white dress dances barefoot outdoors, lifting one leg high while balancing a basket of green leaves on her head, with a scenic coastal landscape in the background.

Maria’s high-energy and healthful cooking style is rooted in Mediterranean tradition but not bound by it, her recipes often riffing on Greek classics like meatballs served over whipped feta, charred halibut and halloumi skewers with dates and figs, and a towering baklava ice cream cake that is definitely “worth it”. Highlighting culinary traditions that have sustained Greeks for generations, Maria draws inspiration from the healthy, fresh staples of her Greek family’s kitchen (greens! beans! olive oil!) and shows how simple, everyday ingredients can create comforting, good-for-you meals that bring you right to the Aegean blue zones of the Mediterranean.


Shot on location in Greece to capture the essence of a sun-and-sea life, the stunning photographs and Maria’s practical meal-prep tips, mix-and-match strategies, and joyous energy are not only fun and inspiriting—they make it easy to cook generously, gather often, and feel empowered to do more with less. It’s time to get your Greek on!

  • The Real Thing

    As someone who was born and raised on the shores of the Mediterranean and has spent years cooking and writing about it, I know the real thing when I taste it. Maria’s Greek Out is the real thing. Her food has the kind of soul that could only come from a woman who has olive oil in her veins and a yiayia who taught her that food is love.

  • This One’s a Total Keeper

    Maria has already taught me so much about Greek cooking—and Greek Out feels like getting all of her best, most-loved recipes in one very beautiful place. From perfectly fluffy homemade pita to juicy souvlaki and that cozy, tomato-y manestra, this book delivers on all fronts.
    It’s equal parts approachable and impressive, with the kind of unfussy, fresh ingredients that let the flavors really shine. Plus, the photography is unfairly gorgeous! Every page makes you want to drop everything, grab a bottle of olive oil, and start cooking. This one’s a total keeper.
