How a Greek grandmother’s cooking helped us heal

BBC World Service - Outlook, How a Greek grandmother’s cooking helped us heal

When brothers Luke and Daniel moved in next to ‘yiayia’, her kindness changed their lives

After a family tragedy, Australian brothers Luke and Daniel Mancuso moved in next door to 'yiayia'.  Her kindness—and cooking—changed their lives

When Australian brothers Luke and Daniel Mancuso started posting videos of the homecooked meals their next door neighbour, a Greek grandmother called Nina, would pass to them over the garden fence in Melbourne, it became a surprise internet hit. 

At first, people thought that ‘Yiayia Next Door’ was simply a heartwarming story about good neighbours—but behind Nina’s kindness lay a tragedy.
