Matriarchs, Meze and the Evil Eye – A memoir by Costa Ayiotis

This memoir chronicles Costa Ayiotis's childhood in a Greek immigrant household in South Africa during the 1960s and 70s, growing up alongside his cotton-trader father, mother, grandmother and aunt. It serves as a prequel to his later book "My Big Fat Greek Taverna," and has been praised as "a deliciously vivid piece in the jigsaw of South African stories."
