ANASTASIA MIARI SHARES THE RECIPES OF MEDITERRANEAN GRANDMOTHERS IN NEW COOKBOOK MEDITERRANEA.
FOOD writer Anastasia Miari has been cooking with grandmothers for 10 years. Her last cookbook, Yiayia, focused on Greek grandmothers, including her own.

Anastasia was born in Corfu and moved to London aged 11. She lived in the UK until she was 28 and then returned to Greece six years ago to raise a family.
