Book Description

March 2004
Greek cuisine is as warm, friendly, and inviting as the country from which it hails. With a history dating back 4,000 years, the Greek culinary experience is based on fresh, sun-kissed ingredients; an appreciation of the bounty of land and sea; and a unique philosophy of eating and sharing meals.

With an intense appreciation of rich Mediterranean flavors and the tradition of Greek culinary excellence, Chef George Kyrtatas gives old-world recipes a new-world twist in My Big Fat Greek Feast. Emphasizing seasonal ingredients and simple preparations, George’s recipes draw from family experiences and his own creative ideas.

Recipes in MY BIG FAT GREEK FEAST are titled in English with the Greek name of specific dishes listed when possible. Lush full color photographs capture the glory of Greek cuisine. Throughout, George provides cooking tips and family stories. Sidebars on almost every page — entitled "Big Fat Greek Facts"— explain the origin and history of Greek foods and dishes.

From flavor-charged first courses, dips, and salads to simple skillet dishes and tempting desserts, these recipes burst with the bold tastes and warmth of a Greek family table and offer a fresh perspective on an ancient cuisine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Greek cooking . . . and a whole lot more!, April 23, 2008
By 
Eliza (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Big Fat Greek Feast (Paperback)
Being Greek and a NON-gourmet cook, I give my highest recommendation to this book! The true test is the quality of the recipes. The several dishes I've made have come out wonderfully and were enthusiastically received by my (sometimes picky) family.

George Kyrtatas comes as billed--he truly does present the Greek classics and essentials, with an occasional modern twist, yielding wonderful results. Chef George does a great job of simplifying what could be complex recipes (I know from my own family's culinary background) and making them manageable for the average cook. I also love how he emphasizes creativity and substitution in the kitchen, which is a facility possessed by any good cook. Not only does Chef George teach you how to be a good Greek cook, he helps you become a better cook, period.

In addition, the facts, tips, and personal notes he sprinkles throughout the book are incredibly interesting, serving to season his collection with the flavor of Greek history and culture. This book is a definite keeper in my culinary library and is sure to become a well-worn classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for those new to Greek food, September 21, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Big Fat Greek Feast (Paperback)
I bought this cookbook after watching a segment on Digital Cookbook (www.digitalcookbook.tv) and my 7-year-old decided we needed to try making the almond macaroons. Most of the recipes are easy, and have basic ingredients, but I chose not to try procuring rose water for the macaroons...if you always wanted to try making flaming cheese at home, here's your cookbook!
