About the Author
Georgina Hayden is a multi-award-winning cook and food writer from north London. She writes for publications such as The Telegraph, Delicious Magazine and Observer Food Monthly, and in 2021 won the Fortnum & Mason Best Cookery Writer Award for her work in Waitrose Food magazine. She has appeared on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, and regularly appears on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch and BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen.
Growing up above her grandparents’ Greek Cypriot taverna, Georgina developed a love of cooking and storytelling through the recipes passed down to her. She started her career working at various food magazines, and then went on to join Jamie Oliver’s food team where she worked for 12 years. Her third book, Nistisima (2022), was a Sunday Times bestseller and was voted Best Cookbook at the OFM and Fortnum & Mason Awards. Its follow up, Greekish (2024), became another Sunday Times bestseller and was shortlisted for Book of the Year at the British Book Awards. Medesque is her fifth book.
Georgina documents her recipes and food travels on her Instagram page: @georginahayden.
