5.0 out of 5 stars Greece as it was-you need to be there !, 14 Jan 2004
This review is from: Greek Pastries and Desserts (Hardcover)
I bought this book second hand and the condition was excellent. So soon after its publishing date (2002) it was not possible to get a new copy.
This book is for all those who want to get near to the not so old greece when the mothers used to cook and bake for their families. Its a treasure trove for anyone loving Greece and its food.
the book also contains very sweet historical information over the author and it makes me feel like she says to want a time when we were happy with what we had and not like now - 'chasing after wealth'. This book makes me love greece and its people even more. Filakia. Efxaristo poli.

5.0 out of 5 stars If it's traditional you want then look no further, 28 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Greek Pastries and Desserts (Hardcover)
Vefa Alexiadou has done it again. I purchased this book while in Greece after seeing her on a very popular morning show. I was not disappointed. I had purchased other books from her and had always been pleased. Greek pasteries are amongst the most difficult to make yet Vefa makes it not only easy but enjoyable. The photos in the book are wonderful. Upon first glance I wanted to make everything! For those of you who want to try traditional Greek cooking, the way it is done in Greece, then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, 23 April 2002
By R. A. Aquaro "fr_george" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Greek Pastries and Desserts (Hardcover)
If you don't own this book, then your library is incomplete! Having just returned from Greece, I can honestly say this has every pastry you'd find in a neighborhood bakery. One of the best parts of Greece is the dining, whether during Lent or the rest of the year, and this book has all the dessert recipes you'd need to have a little of Greece in your own home year-round. She also has a great variety of recipes for the various Orthodox Christian holidays, which makes the book all the more valuable for festive occasions such as Christmas and Easter. If you've lost Grandma's cookie recipes, just pick up a copy of this. Thank you, Vefa!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, 1 Nov 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Greek Pastries and Desserts (Hardcover)
I am a Turk living in California. I was amazed by the recipes and the photos in this book. I haven't yet had time to try all the recipes, but I have been very pleased with the ones that I tried. The explanations are good and easy to follow. Taste is authentic. For people who are not familiar with the pastries and desserts of the region, the photos in the book show what the outcome will look like.
Highly recommended to those with a sweet tooth ;-)
