Why is this recipe great? What’s its backstory?
This recipe is very near and dear to my heart. My family is Greek-American, and we loved my yiayia’s cooking. However, when I was 12, she began to lose her memory. We found that most of the recipes she had written down were all incorrect—she didn’t want anyone to be able to replicate them! But even though she could not remember much, she could tell us exactly what she changed on her recipes. She taught me all her tips and tricks and told me the proper recipe, which I make all the time now. Everyone loves her recipe and people ask me to make it for almost every occasion!
