This listing is for a spiral bound, hardcover copy of Popular Greek Recipes Cookbook!Sells for $18.95 at The Ladies Philoptochos Chapter at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity in Charleston website right now!The Ladies Philoptochos Chapter at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity in Charleston compiled its first edition of Popular Greek Recipes in 1957. This is a collection of recipes retained in families of Greek descent for many generations but now adapted to new ingredients and shorter methods. All of these savory and satisfying recipes have been kitchen-tested and still comprise the major portion of the menus served in Greek-American homes in the United States. From salads, soups, and appetizers to delicious syrup pastries this spiral-bound book also features Greek Lenten foods and menu suggestions. Popular Greek Recipes was recently inducted in the Walter S. McIlhenny Hall of Fame as part of the 18th annual Tabasco Community Cookbook Awards after selling 100,000 copies! When ‘Popular Greek Recipes’ was first published in 1957, the authors had no inkling that the cookbook would prove to be so, well, popular. A medley of colorful peppers stuffed with a fresh herb and rice mixture makes a tasty meatless dish. To promote it, circulars were sent to Greek communities in other states offering discounts on bulk purchases. Far-flung Greek parishes from Texas to Ohio began ordering the book to sell at their festivals. The first 500 books, at $2 apiece, sold out in 10 months. The book’s success was somewhat of a surprise to the Ladies Philoptochos Society of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity in Charleston. (Philoptochos means ‘friends of the poor.’) There were only three Greek-American cookbooks in the country at the time. Still, the group’s ambitions were fairly modest. ‘The cookbook was for the community or maybe the surrounding communities. We never expected it to take off so well,’ says Despina Trivelas, who was chairwoman of the first cookbook committee and still is active in the group. While the women didn’t set out to create a classic, they did. The cookbook recently earned a place in the Walter S. McIlhenny Hall of Fame, an honor for books whose sales have topped 100,000. The national recognition is one of the annual Tabasco Community Cookbook Awards, which were established 18 years ago by the McIlhenny Co. Only 62 books have made it into the Hall of Fame. The cookbook is now in its 15th printing and bears the seal celebrating the book’s 50th anniversary. For that milestone last year, recipes were updated and streamlined and the look was freshened with new artwork and typography. The book also is in hard cover for the first time. Cookbook orders continue to come from coast to coast and even from around the world. People say they use the book until it’s tattered, Trivelas says. Testimonials have accompanied many of the orders over the past five decades.This cookbook is brand new!

A WORD ABOUT MEDIA MAIL – Media mail can be EXTREMELY SLOW at times. The way the USPS handles Media Mail is if there is room on the truck, it goes. If not, it stays until there is a truck with room on it or goes to another destination to be forwarded later (we’ve seen a shipment from Memphis, TN to Tuscon, AZ go through New Jersey before. That one took about 30 days to deliver). IF YOU ARE WEST OF THE ROCKIES OR OUTSIDE THE LOWER 48, YOUR CHANCES OF SLOW DELIVERY ARE HIGHER THAN OTHER LOCATIONS. But we have seen packages to all locations take 10 days or more, some even as long as 30 days. With that said, the majority of packages east of the Rockies arrive in a week or so via Media Mail.
Shipments over $200 will ship signature required.
International Shipments – We offer USPS First Class International on items 4 pounds and under (no tracking – can take 30 days or more) Priority Mail International (no tracking, 6-10 day average from the date of mailing) or USPS Express Mail International (full tracking, 3-5 day average from the date of mailing).
