Summary

Georgina Hayden has written cookbooks that highlight traditional Mediterranean recipes, but her latest, MEDesque , is a little looser, full of weeknight dinner ideas inspired by various ingredients and dishes that are beloved in the region. "I've interviewed priests and grannies" about traditional Greek and Cypriot cooking, Georgina says, "But with this one, I've just had a bit more fun and been a bit playful with it." In this episode of The Dinner Plan, Georgina explains how she simplifies Greek classics like spanakopita and moussaka, offers advice for cooking when you're feeling burnout, and shares all the pantry staples she's added to her kitchen.
