Delicious sun-kissed recipes from the heart of the Mediterranean
Georgina Hayden is a food writer and stylist from North London.
Growing up above her grandparents' Greek Cypriot taverna in Tufnell
Park, she developed a love of cooking from the recipes passed down
to her. As a teenager she ran a stall at a farmers' market and
worked in restaurants, before studying Fine Art at university. Her
passion for food landed her a job as a food writer and stylist on
various food magazines, until she joined Jamie Oliver's food team
where she worked for twelve years. She now writes, develops and
styles for magazine, books, television and campaigns. She also
writes an online family food blog- georginahayden.com.
Georgina's work is inspired by her family, her heritage and her
love of travel. There is nothing she treasures more than cooking
with her mum and her yiayia (grandmother). She documents her food
adventures on her two instagram accounts @georgiepuddingnpie and
@peaandthepod. Her first book, Stirring Slowly, was published in
2016, and Taverna is her second.
This spectacular book is filled with comforting, delicious recipes
and wonderful writing. Authentic and heart-filled, this masterpiece
of a cookbook gives an insight into one of the oldest and greatest
cuisines on the planet.

This is a book I can completely relate to. Georgina's Cypriot
heritage shines through so naturally in her stories & recipe
choices... which are real, beautifully written & accessible to all.
They take me personally right back to my grandparents' table.
