About once a year I need make something that is 'Greek', so I reach for this cookbook. (I got tired of borrowing the cookbook from friends so I bought my own and now between us we have 2). The recipes were collected from those used when the Greek church had a pot luck, so the recipes create generous servings. The recipes that I've made have been easy and tasty. Wide variety of recipes so if you need a recipe for a specific dish or are searching for a type of recipe it is probably in here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a try!, January 6, 2008

This review is from: The Grecian Plate (Plastic Comb)

I bought this book recently b/c I love Greek food. So far I've only had the time to try two recipes -the moussaka & the baklava. Both were very, very good! The moussaka was not too hard to make except for the time involved to make each component (make the meat sauce, make the bechamel, roast the eggplant). The baklava, however, is time consuming due to all the puff pastry sheets you have to individually brush with butter. I'm sure it's just commonplace not just to this cookbook but the dessert itself. I'll just buy mine from now on! Overall, I recommend this book & look forward to trying more of its recipes. If they turn out to be just as good, I'll come back & give it five stars!
