JUST LIKE MOM,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greek Cuisine (Hardcover)
AS A GREEK AMERICAN, I GREW UP WITH TRADITIONAL GREEK MEALS. VEFA'S COOKBOOKS ARE LIKE MY MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER SITTING NEXT TO ME GIVING ME THE RECIPES. EVERY SINGLE RECIPE IS EXPLAINED IN SUCH A MATTER THAT IT IS VERY HARD TO MAKE A MISTAKE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY ONE COOKBOOK, MAKE IT ONE OF VEFA'S.

This is *real* Greek food,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greek Cuisine (Hardcover)
I'm a Greek born and bred, and a keen foodie. Now I live in London, and I always recommend this book to my English friends. Let me tell you, not only do these recipes represent authentic Greek food, but they work, too! Vefa has a degree in chemistry and that comes across in her methodical instructions. The photos are also quite appetising! Enjoy.

vefa's cookbooks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greek Cuisine (Hardcover)
I am a Greek who recently moved to the US, and Vefa's books show the very best of today's Grrek cuisine. My mother in Greece has all her books, they're just the most authentic ones on the market. I hope the rest of them become available soon. Anna Tsirka, MD
