Hi, I’m Georgia Singleton, a proud first generation Greek who grew up in a home filled with love, laughter, and the wonderful chaos of three sisters. I’m a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a speech coach, but above all, I’m someone who finds joy in the simple things like a quiet cup of coffee, my adorable pug, the sound of waves, my faith, and a kitchen full of family.

Food has always been at the heart of my life. My dad owned a restaurant, and both of my parents were incredible cooks. Some of my fondest memories are of standing beside them, watching them create meals that filled our home with the rich aromas of Greece. Those moments taught me that food is more than nourishment; it is love, it is tradition, it is family.

The recipes in my book Sea, Sun & Olive Oil come straight from the heart of our family table. Many were handwritten in Greek by my mother and passed down through generations. One day, I sat with her to translate each one into English, not just to preserve the recipes but to keep the stories alive, the laughter, the conversations, and the memories tied to every dish.

This book is my tribute to my parents, Takis and Kiki Bogris, whose strength, love, and faith continue to guide me every day. Through these pages, I hope to share the warmth of Greek hospitality, the beauty of our traditions, and the joy that comes from gathering around the table with people you love.

From my family to yours, kali orexi, and may every meal remind you that the best recipes are always made with heart.
