‘An excellent collection highly recommended for expanding the boundaries of Greek cuisine’
– Midwest Book Review
‘This is a beautifully written cookbook,in the tradition of Claudia Roden and, before her, Elizabeth David, with as much about the history and the culture, the people and the places, as the food and the drink of the Eptánisa. But, among the references to Homer and The Odyssey, and the drawings by Judith Ann Lawrence and photographs by John Miller, are wonderful recipes for grilled artichokes; fried baby potatoes; cheese and garlic dip; fish soup; veal with garlic and parsley; baked lamb with rice and yogurt; and sweet rice cake.’
