Christos Sourligas is an award-winning film and television writer, director and producer. A storyteller at heart, Christos takes pleasure in entertaining with food, drink and talk. He travels extensively for work and pleasure, often returning with hilarious stories, and of course, several recipes to share. Christos resides in Montreal, Canada.
Evdokia Antginas was the proud mom of Christos Sourligas. She 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. Evdokia immigrated to Canada in the mid-1960s, was married for more than fifty years, and had four incredible children and four equally-awesome grandchildren. She felt best at home cooking up Greek and international delights for family and friends alike. Evdokia passed away in 2020
