Win a copy of Ela! Ela! from MCD magazine

Enjoy a fascinating meander through several cultures with Ela! Ela!, offering mouthwatering recipes from Melbourne-based chef and writer Ella Mittas. Inspired by her time working in a village in the mountains of Crete and the hot, loud streets of Istanbul, as well as her Greek heritage, these flavourful recipes represent a diversity of food, culture, and belonging. The simple, comforting recipes are a mix of things Ella saw, ate, and was taught on her travels, and through years of cooking them, she has made them something more her own. Above all, they represent community: the reason Ella ever wanted to cook at all.

Ella’s Greek heritage and fascination with traditional foods and cooking styles led her to live and work in Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Israel. The heart of these food cultures is beautifully represented within Ela! Ela!

Thanks for entering the competition. Good luck!
