About the Book: My Greek Mom’s Recipes is Gus’s deeply personal tribute to his mother, Julia, who passed away in 2023. Hilarious and heartfelt, Gus gives readers a candid reflection of grief, family, and his mother’s unforgettable recipes. Each of the 75 recipes comes with a story about his mother – from avgolemono to a Greek Easter feast – and is a celebration of Greek food, culture, and mothers everywhere.

Gus writes for several children’s shows on Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Netflix, including The Lion Guard, Rainbow Rangers, Abby Hatcher, and Gabby’s Dollhouse.
