Vefa Alexiadou is a TV food personality and all round Ina Garten-esque figure in Greece. Her book is pretty comprehensive and a good resource for classic Greek dishes from all around the country (not the typical Asia-minor inflected cooking of expat Greek places).
Argyro's Cooking https://www.amazon.com/dp/9607952820/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_MgNFAbRE311EV
Argyro Barbarigou is one of the more innovative chefs in Greece right now - her book is available in Greek but sold out in English atm I think. Well worth it as an update on classics that captures fairly mainstream trends in Greece.
PM me for more info if you’re curious. Happy to help!

Those are some of the traditional stuff I remember from my childhood.
This cookbook has LOADS of greek veggie recipes, and I recommend it, it's where i learned my kickass youverlakia recipe.

All her recipes are pretty good but they stray from traditional* stuff. Granted every household will have their ways of cooking their food.

Two cookbooks have had a huge impact in helping me understand Italian and Greek cuisine: Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking - Marcella Hazan and The Foods of Greece - Aglaia Kremezi. I am always looking to learn more and was wondering what other cookbooks people have found that have helped them grow in their enjoyment and preparation of good food.

This is an old book but is my go to. If it matters to you, I'd shop around because it's more than I remember it costing
