Evdokia Antginas

Selfless Greek mom and talented cook

Evdokia Antginas was the proud mom of Christos Sourligas. Evdokia was born in the mountainous region of Arcadia, Greece known for its unspoiled wilderness and idyllic way of life. Having survived through World War II and the devastating Greek Civil War, she always kept her head high while toiling away on factory farms. Having immigrated to Canada in the mid-1960s, she was married for more than fifty years and had four incredible children and four equally-awesome grandchildren. Evdokia felt best at home cooking up Greek and international delights for family and friends alike. She passed away in 2020.

Behind The Cookbook: My Big Fat Greek Cookbook

The idea for My Big Fat Greek Cookbook was born when filmmaker, actor, innovator, and author Christos Sourligas learned of his mother’s terminal illness. Determined to document his mother’s recipes, he spent a year working alongside her, learning to cook her dishes. This book, co-authored by mother and son, is the result. Christos describes it as “our family’s gift to the world.”
