A delicious odyssey through the culinary delights of the traditional Greek kitchen introduces more than 250 recipes that emphasize a culinary heritage based on aromatic spices and herbs, fresh ingredients, nuts, olives, dried beans, seafood, and other native foods.
A deep, immersive, even exhaustive, exploration of Greek cuisine, its food products, traditions, and cultures around food. Very enjoyable and a lot to "chew" on.
This is my favorite Greek cookbook, which is saying something, because I'm vegetarian and it's not. The vegetarian recipes are wonderfully authentic to my own experience of having lived a little while in Greece and I have been able to adapt many of the non-veg recipes to vegetarian cooking. The book also has lots of information on Greek cuisine/ingredients as well as clear instructions to help people who may be intimidated by some of the techniques in Greek cooking. Highly recommended.
