There is a certain elemental quality to all cooking of Greece that separates it from the cooking to the east and to the west, that is, from the cooking of Turkey on one side and of Italy on the other. Read the first page

Being a vegetarian in Greece, or in most Greek restaurants in America, is no easy task. One can eat stuffed tomatoes only so many times! Fortunately, even Greek dishes with meat are usually chock full of veggies, so the conversion to meatless is nicely accomplished by the author of this book. You'll find all the wonderful classics, like pastitsio and souvlaki, as well as many less well-known dishes, all meatless. I also like Ms. Kochilas' healthy attitude that tabulating every last calorie and fat gram in a recipe is silly - just prepare it in all its glory and eat a reasonable portion, and you'll be fine. (You'll realize the wisdom of this if you're ever in Greece, where you'll notice how trim everyone is, despite their habit of eating all sorts of foods swimming in olive oil.) The recipes here are authentic and deliciously satisfying. Oh, and the photos make my mouth water!

For those who think vegetarian equals deprivation, they need only pick up this book to find that meat is not always necessary for rich, delicious meals. Many of the recipes require only a few ingredients, and none are difficult to prepare, so this is excellent for those just beginning to cook or interested in trying out a meatless diet. Most definitely worth adding to any cookbook collection

We don't see a lot of vegetable dishes while on holiday in Greece other than salads and stuffed vegetables so I bought this book to see what the Greeks eat at home. The range of dishes is good and there is a lot of information about traditional Greek cooking and the ingredients used. Everything I have cooked has turned out well and I could happily cut out meat while working my way through the recipes. Like a lot of Greek receipe books the quantities given provide very large portions!
