Your Greek Mommy

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.

What’s Inside?

Everything Tastes
Better in Greek!

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.

THE GOSS

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.

The Modern Food Bible

Greek Out by Maria is pure joy. Her heritage, heart, and love of Greek cooking shine on every page, with stunning photography that transports you straight to Greece. From classic favorites like Spanakopita and Chicken Gyros to fresh, creative dishes, this book is both inspiring and deeply craveable. If you’re looking for a modern Greek food bible, this is it.

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.

The stunningly beautiful pages of Greek Out are like a dream vacation to Greece expertly led by your Greek Mommy, Maria Koutsogiannis. She holds your hand while taking you on a tour of her favorite recipes, each one more delicious than the last, all while telling stories of her heritage and family. Excuse me while I apply more SPF, as I never want to leave….

It’s Alive and Vibrant

Like a lively Sirtaki dance with fancy footwork, Maria’s work jumps off the pages of Greek Out! It’s alive and vibrant and original, but more than anything, it’s FUN! I especially loved the recipes that speak to our shared Greek-American soul, rooted in tradition but also new (her spicy feta stuffed shells will be my next dinner party dish!). Maria has created cutting-edge comfort food that happens to be Greek!
