Proving grandma knows best

Food writer Anastasia Miari shares recipes from Mediterranean nonnas

- 

Food writer and journalist Anastasia Miari's yiayia (grandmother in Greek) was "not impressed" with her new cookbook, Mediterranea.

"She never learned to read or write, so was like, 'What do I do with this?' She was just looking for her photo in it," says Miari with a laugh. "But as soon as you walk into her house [in Corfu], she's got my three books on the back of her sofa and my wedding photo in the middle of them all - the biggest achievement for her in life. So I know she's proud of me."
