No matter how much the world goes paperless, printed travel and recipe books remain one of the best gifts to give. They not only make for great reading the old-fashioned way but can be a great coffee table accessory. I’ve found that when a conversation slows down, a coffee table book can bring the room to life.
My Greek Mom’s Recipes: She Died. I Wrote This Cookbook by Gus Constantellis (Author)
“Make classic Greek recipes with a side of humor and heart.
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 Gus’s deeply personal tribute, a cookbook in which every dish comes with a story about his mother, an immigrant who never learned English yet managed to achieve the American dream.”
Editor’s Picks:
I fell in love with The Amalfi Coast: A Collection of Italian Recipes. It is an outstanding gift idea because it’s not just about recipes but also comes with all kinds of interesting anecdotes about the Amalfi region.
Secondly, the Authentic Portuguese Cooking book is exactly what the title says, and more. Experience the unique paradise of Portugal without setting foot on a plane with these classic Mediterranean -style recipes.
