Modern Greek : 170 Contemporary Recipes from the Mediterranean
By Andy Harris
Photographs By William Meppem

Delicious and Healthful, redolent of the flavors of the Mediterranean, and perfect for the way we like to eat today - it's no wonder that Greek food is so beloved.  In homes and at restaurant tables around the world, its glorious heritage is being enjoyed more and more, with its classic flavors celebrated in a host of new and mouthwatering ways.

Modern Greek offers 170 wonderful recipes for everything from meze appetizers to luscious pastry desserts.  This delightful cookbook draws together ingredients from the everyday Greek kitchen - all of them readily available - such as chesses and yogurt, vegetables and legumes, rice and pasta, seafoods and meats, and of course, olives, and transforms them into easy and exciting dishes with a seasonal twist.  There are small savory pies stuffed with greens and herbs in autumn; slow-cooked one-pot stews and sups for warming up in winter; baked lamb and baby vegetables to welcome spring; and simple grills of meats or vegetables for relaxing summer evenings.

Here is Greek cuisines in all its rich diversity including dishes that highlight the country's regional gems, the legacy of ancient Greece, and the lively mixture of Turkish, Balkan, and Venetian influences.  Many of the recipes are traditional dishes Andy Harris has collected over extensive visits to hidden mountain and island villages, while others are updated interpretations, adapting Greekfoods and cooking techniques to today's kitchens.  Beautifully photographed, Modern Greek reveals the colorful dishes and timeless ingredients of this much-loved cuisine in a fresh and contemporary light.
