Tessa Kiros’s far-reaching recipes dip into her Greek and Scandinavian heritage, making for a truly international spread. The plates, which voyage through global flavor profiles—mint and citrus from her Hellenic side; dill and mustard as tributes to her Finnish mother—are like snapshots from a series of family albums, merged with dreamy illustrations and Kiros’s exuberant narrative.
