Nistisima by Georgina Hayden is a stunning exploration of the plant-based fasting cuisine found across the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East, and beyond. Rooted in the Greek Orthodox tradition of nistisima, meaning "fasting foods", this cookbook celebrates the vibrant, naturally vegan dishes that have been enjoyed for centuries during periods of religious observance.

With over 120 recipes spanning mezze, soups, hearty mains, and decadent desserts, Hayden draws on her Greek Cypriot heritage and extensive travels to present dishes that are as nourishing as they are flavorful. From crispy herb-stuffed filo pies and rich tomato stews to fragrant spiced rice and syrup-soaked pastries, every recipe showcases the depth and creativity of meat-free and dairy-free cooking traditions.

Published by Bloomsbury Publishing in August 2022, Nistisima is a beautifully photographed hardcover spanning 304 pages, offering both a cultural journey and a practical guide to plant-based Mediterranean cooking.
