As a business owner, leader, father, husband, and community member, I have had to make tough decisions on a daily basis to keep people safe, employed and healthy. Like most years, but especially this year, I am incredibly thankful and proud of the organization that we have built here at Tangram. Our people and their resolve, determination, creativity and compassion have helped us navigate these trying times with an eye on a better tomorrow.

A few months ago, our organization had the opportunity to expand into Dallas, Texas which has been incredibly exciting and, admittedly, time-consuming. The long days and countless challenges have served as an important reminder to cherish the moments of time you have with your family and close friends. After sharing a meal over Thanksgiving with my wife, daughters, sons and mother-in-law, we realized that many of the special recipes that YiaYia (Greek for ‘Grandma’) makes for us on these special occasions have never been documented and would ultimately be lost if not captured somehow. When our marketing team asked me to provide a recipe for this publication, it became the perfect opportunity to document a well-loved dish not only for Lozowski generations to come, but also hopefully with you and your family.  

From all of us at Tangram, we hope you enjoy this collection of recipes and words from our people, and take the chance to connect with your loved ones over a shared meal and game night.  Cheers to a prosperous new year!
