Great for kids ages 3-10 “In Yiayia’s Kitchen, the most important ingredient is love.” Family Traditions “When I spent time in Yiayia’s kitchen, she taught me about ingredients and recipes. I also learned about my heritage and many Greek traditions. While I learned to cook and bake, Yiayia also taught me important lessons about life.” In Yiayia’s Kitchen, the most important thing is family. Koukla worries because her cookies don’t look as good as the ones Yiayia and Theia are making. Her cookies are different. Yiayia tells Koukla the cookies will be delicious because they all made them together, and even if they look different on the outside, they came from the same ingredients.

When “Koukla” makes a mistake while cooking with her Yiayia, she does not admit it, but her error is soon revealed when the family is sitting down to dinner. Though she finds it hard, Koukla tells the truth and is forgiven once Yiayia explains why it is important to be honest. Patience Yiayia's Kitchen: Patience teaches children that when things are rushed, they may not always turn out like we would like. When “Koukla”, ignores what Yiayia tells her, she comes to understand why she must be patient. Her mistakes are met with careful, loving explanations that young readers will understand, and empathize with.
