Overview
Stand-up comedian Gus Constantellis draws inspiration for his material and online content from his family, especially his mother, Julia, who became a social media star and “Greek mother” for an entire online community. And when she died suddenly in August 2023, that community mourned with him. My Greek Mom’s Recipes is a deeply personal cookbook, as Constantellis pairs each recipe with hilarious and wholesome memories of his mom and reflections on the grieving process. Because the one thing his mom was most known for—besides her razor-sharp humor—was her cooking.
