Joie de Vivre Brought to the Table
“We found home above all at the kitchen table.”
In the family of Poppi and her niece Nikoletta there was and is no more important topic than food. At dinner, people come together, jokes are made, laughter is heard, arguments are held. Food on the table is praised and future plans are made. This has always been the case.
As guest workers, parents and grandparents had left their homes in Greece, but tried to preserve familiar habits and traditions in the German city. And that included cheerful meals at the kitchen table, which was laid out so differently from the tables of their German classmates. Nikoletta Bousdoukou tells of the cultural rift that migrants probably feel all over the world. But she also makes us experience the great joy of family and joys and takes us into the Mediterranean kitchen.
“Aunt Poppi's Cuisine” presents a wealth of interpretations of Greek dishes in vegetarian and vegan variants, which guarantee success by concentrating on a few ingredients and simple preparation. The result is delicious Pastizio, Mousakka and Stifado with a contemporary twist.

Theopoula Kechagia, nicknamed Aunt Poppi, is a vegetarian without the need to convert others, she just doesn’t like meat. Many of her meatless recipes she took over from her grandmother, who was also a cook and landlady. But what she enjoys most is still trying out new things and above all developing traditional dishes.
