In Έλα! Ela! (Come, come in Greek) writer and cook Ella Mittas shares a collection of food writing and personal essays speaking to the origins and evolution of some of her most beloved dishes.

Through the stories and 40-plus recipes in Έλα! Ela!, Ella reflects on her travels through Turkey and Greece, her relationship with her Anglo-Greek identity, and her desire to connect to culture through food. Each chapter is dedicated to a different place, taking readers on a culinary journey from Istanbul to Alaçati and Crete with Ella's own photos.

The book's delicious, inviting, often simple recipes are a mix of things that Ella saw, ate and was taught during her travels. Though years of cooking them have turned them into something more her own.
