Product Description

Product Description
Greek cooks make wonderful use of the abundance of seasonal ingredients, cooking only the freshest and best available. This fabulous new book is divided into four seasonal chapters, which include information about popular ingredients, such as vine leaves, aubergines and okra as well as dozens of other dishes. The book begins at the start of the year with spring and includes classic dishes such as a fresh-tasting lamb casserole cooked with peas and stuffed vine leaves with rice and spring herbs. Summer brings the delightful sun-ripened tomato and feta salad with purslane, and wonderful recipes for outdoor grilling. Autumn delights include Greek giant beans baked with tomatoes, and baked tuna with golden brown potatoes, while winter brings warming soups, and tasty fish and shell fish recipes. One or two desserts and cakes are included in each of the chapters. This collection of recipes are peppered with anecdotes as well as interesting and helpful tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photos, clear instructions and delicious recipes!, 7 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I saw a photograph of this book in a magazine and was tempted by the beautiful photograph on the cover to visit my book shop and investigate further. Now that I have my copy its going to be used often. The recipes are so delicious! Try Electra's cheese and leek pie and you'll find that its not at all heavy because the yoghurt lifts the recipe and theres no pastry to weigh it down. All these recipes will have you thinking of your last holiday in the Mediterranean or dreaming of the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight to read, wonderful to cook from, 13 Aug 2006
By P. Driver (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is probably my favourite Greek cookery book of the 6 or so that I have. Why? For lots of reasons. It is beautifully written and illustrated with many superb photographs; Rena Salaman's passion for Greece and its food really shines through; the recipes are clear and accurate and easy to follow. All the old favourites are here along with many I had not come across before. The book is true to authentic Greek food but takes on board trends towards lighter food without any loss of flavour or character. The presentation of the recipes by season is good for those with an interest in Greek life, but it is clearly indexed too so it is easy to find the recipe you are looking for or just to be inspired.
The book is a wonderful just to sit down and read, although it will make you want to get into the kitchen and start cooking.
This book would make a wonderful gift for someone, too. But why not treat yourself?

2.0 out of 5 stars It lacks the passion of true greek cooking, 16 Sep 2007
By L. Day (Colchester. UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book, although full of some wonderful recipes, to me lacks the passion and love that makes a greek dish. Many of the traditional and best dishes (such as pasticio) are missing, and this book tries to make Greek food into an ala cart style food, which Greek food should never be. It's basic wholesome food made with love, not dressed up fancy as shown here
