The 1 Greek cookbook you've been waiting for...

The recipes in this cookbook are simple and proud. They are not complex, yet they are just as delicious, and impressive as those produced by some of today’s hottest chefs.

This is not the stuff of fast food Greek restaurants that has come to characterize Greek food in the minds of most. In these pages you will find dishes you may recognize – such as Spanankopita and Souvlaki – but you will also discover Stifado; a braised rabbit dish, Pastitsio; a baked penne with a creamy cinnamon and Béchamel sauce and Avgolemmono; a chicken soup with a lemon and egg finish. We have selected over 100 recipes that we believe will become a part of your regular repertoire once you have tried them. Delicious and fulfilling dishes like our mom’s Lemon Chicken and Potatoes will surprise you with the simplicity of their ingredients. You may also be surprised to discover that over half of the recipes in this book are vegetarian. This is real Greek cooking. The preparation of food in Greek culture is an expression of love. It says to those whom you prepare it for – you are worth the effort that this dish took. Like love, good food is comforting. For those preparing it, it is rewarding. For those who share in the feast, it is life affirming. Enjoy.
