This review is from: Cooking: A Love Affair (Hardcover)

Alexia Alexiadou is known throughout Greece and Europe for her culinary talents and her avant garde approach to cooking. In this book, which I own in Greek and wanted to have in English as well, Alexia creates beautiful dishes that are a delight to choose, cook and eat. While this book has a certain "coffee table" book quality to it thanks to stunning photography, it is incredibly easy to follow while giving you a terrific selection of recipes that will impress even the most jaded of your guests. The recipes are born of her love for food and her love for sharing the Greek passion for cooking. While not traditionally Greek at all, the recipes all have a certain Mediterranean flair. Buy, browse, cook and share the passion!
