This collection of Greek home-cooked dishes ranges from classics such as stuffed vine leaves, moussaka and halva, to more unusual dishes such as Christmas pork with figs, yogurt bread and preserved sour cherries. But it is not just food for the stomach - it's food for the soul as well - because meal times in Greece are steeped in tradition. Through myths, anecdotes and descriptions of the country, the author gives readers a taste of how culture and religion have shaped the country's cuisine. All the recipes have been tested in a domestic kitchen.

Greek cuisine,

This review is from: The Real Greek at Home: Dishes from the Heart of the Greek Kitchen (Paperback)
There are a fair number of Greek cookbooks which repeat the same "tired" versions of Greek dishes. This book shows that the chef is truly a chef. He does not limit himself to past versions. I liked his ideas and they also taste very good. His creatvity comes through and should be applauded. Too often, I have heard complaints when a chef makes changes or comes up with new intepretations that "This is not Greek food." Well, yes it is and it is excellent.

This is a cook book for beginners, who need to know the basic
Greek kitchen. I preferred "Real Greek Food" by Theodore Kyriakou & Charles Campion. It was more original. Real Greek Food
