Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Australian restaurateur Conistis throws a garlic press into this traditional cuisine to produce light, lively versions of Greek favorites. Many of his 100 dishes rely on some painstaking technique (such as making filo dough from scratch) best left to either the experts or commercial frozen-food preparers. Many, of course, also rely on marrying a simple preparation with the best of the season--prawns with tomato rice and saffron, for instance, or plaki of snapper with spring vegetables. His skill coupled with a joy of enhancing an already great cuisine will win over the experienced cook. Barbara Jacobs

This review is from: Greek Cuisine - The New Classics (Paperback)

I have enjoyed this cookbook immensley. It is beautifully illustrated (art is enough to sell the book). The dishes are fancy and everyday. They are challenging for learning new techniques.
I am in love with the burnt honey custard.
