My passion has always been to bring easy Mediterranean-style recipes to home cooks. Inspired by my Greek heritage, cooking with Yiayia, and the years I spent working in my father’s diners, this book celebrates the love of cooking passed down through generations. If you want to own a book that will level up your dinner game and beyond – this book is for you!

Cookbook Bonus Recipes Offer
For everyone that’s preordered the cookbook, I am offering 5 BONUS RECIPES that will give you a TASTE of the book before it comes out!
These are brand-new bonus recipes my team and I have tested, and are every bit as excited for them as we are for the recipes in the book!
Inside you’ll find:
- 100+ Unique Recipes: From quick breakfasts to show-stopping dinners, there’s something for everyone.
- Stunning Photography: There’s a photo for every single recipe in the book and be warned, these pictures will make you VERY hungry!
- Nutritional Info: Keeping in line with my website, I knew I had to include the nutritional info for each recipe. This info can help you stay on track with their goals. Its located in the back of the book, so you can access it when and if you need to.
- Gluten Free Options: I tried to include as many gluten free recipes as possible in this book since I know Low-Carb is important to my readers. If the recipe itself isn’t gluten free, then I generally added gluten free alternatives to almost all recipe notes.
- Recipe Breakdown: Of the 100 recipes in my book, 23 recipes are Fan Favorites and 77 recipes are Brand New!
I can’t wait for you to cook along!
Thank you for your incredible support!
Now LOVE YOUR LIFE!
Questions
When does the cookbook come out?
The Hungry Happens: Mediterranean Cookbook is officially for sale starting September 9, 2025, but you can PREORDER NOW (which helps SO much)!
Why preorder the book?
I know September feels far away, but pre-ordering is incredibly important for authors — especially NEW authors like me! There are a few reasons why:
- Retail availability. The number of pre-ordered books lets retailers know that they should stock more copies, which in turn gets even more copies in readers’ hands. Publishers will print more copies to sell in stores when they see that the book is in demand.
- You are supporting a self-made content creator that needs your help now more than ever! Recipes have always been free here on my site, but pre-ordering a book helps show support so that I can keep this blog going with all the demands it has as it grows!
- Media opportunities. The more the book is pre-ordered, the more opportunities my team and I will have to share it around the country (and the world!) through TV appearances, and online and in-print articles.
- Becoming a bestseller. Pre-ordering the book helps it climb coveted bestseller lists on New York Times, Amazon, and more. A TRUE honor for any author.
Your support means the world to me! I couldn’t do this without you!
Hi Stella. Where best to order from for shipping to Europe ?
Hi Carole, thank you for your interest! The best way to order is from Amazon International (link below) OR head over to your local book store and ask them to order a copy from Penguin Random House for that store. They should be able to do that for you.
