Episode 378: Athens: Food, Stories, Love, and Cookbooks with Diane Kochilas

46 min4 december 2025

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Diane Kochilas. Diane is a New York Times Bestselling Author and host of five seasons of the acclaimed PBS show My Greek Table. In her new book, Athens: Food, Stories, Love, Diane takes readers on a culinary tour of Greece's most-visited city: Athens.

Having lived in Athens for over thirty years, Diane has witnessed enormous social and culinary changes all around her. Today, the kitchens of Athens overflow with new creative energy while international ingredients fill the markets. Culinary influences on the Athenian table from around the globe are well-represented with recipes for French-inspired croissants, Italian twists on Greek classics, and Greek-Mex twists on beloved gigantes beans.

As one of the most recognized voices for Greek Cuisine, Diane and I talk about:

  • Her role as a cultural storyteller and teacher of Greek cuisine

  • Her career is writing books and doing her TV show

  • The sources for how she collects stories and recipes for her books

  • And of course, all about her new book Athens, from the plant-forward approach to cooking and the spirit of Greek hospitality found in a Taverna.
