A collection of 150 wonderfully flavored classic Greek recipes using popular traditional ingredients.

This book is all about translating and recreating the evocative tastes, textures and traditions of Greek food and cooking easily and simply into your own kitchen.

The introductory section of this book opens with a history of Greek cuisine and its regional influences, and then gives full details of how to choose and store the best ingredients and how to prepare these foods in the traditional method, using traditonal equipment and techniques.

Then the recipes section offers more than 150 authentic dishes, both classic and modern - mezes, soups, main meals, vegetable dishes and desserts. Every recipe is tested for the modern kitchen and uses ingredients that can now be found in the local supermarket. All recipes are illustrated step by step, demonstrated visually so they are easy to follow and copy with confidence, and there is a glorious photograph of every finished dish, to show the reader exactly what to aim for.

Mezes include such delights as Aubergines with Tomato Topping, Stuffed Vine Leaves with Rice and Spring Herbs, and Fried Squid. For the main meal, there are wonderful dishes such as Spring Lamb Casserole with Fresh Peas, and Veal Escalopes from Corfu. For those with a sweet-tooth, mouthwatering specialities such as Walnut Cake and Sifnos Cheese and Honey Tart are served for dessert.

This glorious book will allow you to recreate the flavours, aromas and colours of sunny Greece and its neighbouring islands in your own cooking and entertaining.
