8. My mom's a good cook.

We ate out for Greek food though. I make a few Greek items. I'm a sucker for just about any kind of cuisine though.

9. I love Greek food

I grew up in a Greek neighborhood and Its one of my favorite foods.

Saganaki, Egg lemon soup, Pistachio, Moussaka, Souvlaki and you can't forget the gooey honey and nuts pastry(?).

And that gooey honey pastry is Baklava.

12. I have a decent Greek cookbook.

I've tried a few things. There are no really good Greek restaurants here, which sucks. I love just about all Mediterranean cuisines.

13. Modern Greek by Andy Harris is a cool cookbook

15. I have one written by Robin Howe.

I believe she was one of the "Two Fat Ladies". It was originally written in 1960, so it's very traditional.

19. It was in the bargain bin at my local bookstore.

It was $5.99. It took me a while to figure out that an aubergine is an eggplant. :dunce:
