About the Author:

Theresa Karas Yianilos is of Greek parentage. She is reknowned for her expertise in cooking authentic Greek foods and has appeared in television and been written about in national magazines. She taught Greek cooking at the University of California at San Diego. She married Spero J. Yianilos. The family clan owned restaurants, commissaries and a confectionary factory in Buffalo and Tonawanda, New York and its environs. From all that experience, Mrs. Yianilos was able to blend old family Greek recipes with modern restaurant techniques that made her Greek cookbook a best seller. Theresa Yianilos is the author of two other books: Woman Marine, A Memoir (about her experiences as a Marine in World War II) and Green World (a gardening book). These books are available from La Jolla Book Publishing. She lives in La Jolla, CA. She has three children. Besides her accomplishment as an authority on Greek cuisine, she has received an award from the Ceramic Tile Institute of America for her ceramic tile murals which are installed in hospitals, homes and restaurants and community recognition for her crusade to save the Palm trees.
