About the Book:
What happens when a stand-up comedian grieves the loss of his larger-than-life Greek mother the only way he knows how? You get My Greek Mom’s Recipes, a cookbook that’s equal parts love letter, laugh riot, and culinary time capsule. Written by comedian and content creator Gus Constantellis, the book transforms viral comedy into a deeply personal and delicious tribute.

With more than 75 classic Greek recipes, from spanakopita and moussaka to loukoumades,  and keftedakia (Greek meatballs), Constantellis captures the essence of his mother’s kitchen: “equal parts chaos, cigarette smoke, and unconditional love”.

What began as a viral TikTok series, where Gus’s quick-witted impersonations of his mom reached millions, has become a book brimming with authentic flavors, family stories, and the kind of maternal wisdom that sounds like a punchline but lands like poetry. “My mom used to say, ‘When I die, you’re all going to starve.’ Instead, she made sure we never would.”
