A book about the power of food to bring people together, featuring 60 classic Greek recipes and one incredible true story of kindness and community
When Daniel and Luke Mancuso lost their beloved mother Teresa to domestic violence, the Greek grandmother next door stepped in and started looking after them, passing home-cooked meals over the fence. This simple act of kindness helped Daniel and Luke navigate the fog of grief that followed, and captured the hearts of Australia when they started to share the meals and their special relationship with 'Yiayia' on social media.
Now we can all enjoy Yiayia's home cooking, with this collection of traditional recipes from her kitchen and those of yiayias all around Australia. Yiayia's food is pure comfort: pastries such as spanakopita and tiropita; warming soups made with chickpeas, lentils and beans; hearty pasta and rice dishes such as moussaka and yemista; the unmistakable flavors of barbecued lamb and keftedes; and delicious desserts such as baklava and custard-filled galaktoboureko.
This is a book about the power of food to bring people together. It's about love forged in tragedy, the importance of connection and how simple gestures, such as giving someone a home-cooked meal, can transform lives and restore hope.
Includes dual measures.

This artwork pays homage to the rich tapestry of Mexican culture, specifically drawing inspiration from the intricate beauty of Tenangos embroidery. Set against a velvety black background, this piece comes alive with a kaleidoscope of colours, reminiscent of the lively traditions and folk art that define Mexico. The careful interplay of colours and forms is a celebration of the Tenangos artistry and a testament to the spirit of Mexico itself.

Artist Label: Cherry Tree
Inspired by the traditional beauty of cherry trees in Japan, this artwork transports viewers to a realm to delicate elegance and tranquility. The juxtaposition of the bold dark in k branches against the gentile, ephemeral blossoms creating a harmonious balance, mirroring the delicate equilibrium found in nature. The negative space, a hallmark of Japanese aesthetics, plays a crucial role in this composition, allowing the viewer's imagination to wanter and fostering a sense of contemplative calm. Amidst the branches, the cherry blossoms emerge as ethereal clusters of delicate petals, each one meticulously detailed.
