Growing up above her grandparents' Greek Cypriot taverna, Georgina developed a love of cooking and storytelling through the recipes passed down to her. She started her career working at various food magazines, and then went on to join Jamie Oliver's food team where she worked for 12 years. Her third book, Nistisima (2022), was a Sunday Times bestseller and was voted Best Cookbook at the OFM and Fortnum & Mason Awards. Its follow up, Greekish (2024), became another Sunday Times bestseller and was shortlisted for Book of the Year at the British Book Awards. Medesque is her fifth book.
