join kon karapanagiotidis at his table in this beautiful + inspiring greek vegetarian + vegan cookbook.
featuring more than 100 recipes passed down through the generations, this book will teach you to cook with community at your heart, filled with the knowledge + wisdom of the asylum seeker resource centre’s (asrc) inspiring founder + his mother, sia.
‘philoxenia’ means to welcome a stranger. it’s a message that pervades greek culture + cooking. chapter by chapter, this heartfelt book unfolds incredible meals drawn from this powerful philosophy, as well as from the love, hope + resilience that represent kon’s own grandparents’ survival as refugees. learn to make the dishes that line a mezze platter, including fresh tzatziki, golden saganaki + cheese-filled zucchini flowers, or veganise heavier dishes, such as moussaka + spanakopita. there are ample salads to serve up for lunch, highlighting everything from ancient greek grains, zucchini + artichoke to goat’s cheese, fig + pomegranate, as well as mouth-watering desserts (think greek classics, such as loukoumades + baklava, as well as greek-style coffees).
every vegetarian recipe includes instructions to make your dishes vegan or gluten-free. you’ll even find tips on minimising waste and gardening, courtesy of sia, + kon’s father, leo.
