Both of Debbie Matenopoulos's parents immigrated to the United States from Greece and instilled in Debbie the concept of philoxenia, a passion for bringing friends, family, and even strangers together over the dinner table for meals made with love.
Debbie took this concept and created her cookbook, It’s All Greek to Me: Transform Your Health the Mediterranean Way with My Family's Century-Old Recipes.
In this segment, Debbie shares the journey of composing the book, as well the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
She also discusses some of the inspiration behind the book, including her father's struggle with ALS.
