Greece: The Cookbook

Got this for my son for his birthday,after a recent visit to greece,it has some great recipes.

This book is clearly the authors life works. Ive spent the whole evening browsing through it. It's weighty, with extensive sections on each category of food. Greek food it is essence is quite simple for most cooks it's all doable. There are for a lot of British cooks some ingredients are not easy to find, like pluck, wild greens, snails, veal ( spinach etc could be used I guess for some greens). However, this book is so extensive the inclusion of these recipes isn't a problem, it's a tiny proportion. Not every recipe has a photo illustration. Again for me this wasn't a problem. You can always use Google, or your cooks imagination. This book is like a bible of greek cooking. Impossible to illustrate everything.I think the best way is to sit back relax, browse and start picking out a recipe go from there. For example extensive chapters for each: vegetable dishes, pasta, legumes, soups, meze, etc etc.I'm going to use this book to increase the Mediterranean style cooking. The author seems to be the Mary Berry of greek cooking, she is famous and respected.Vast majority of the recipe ingredients can be found in any UK supermarket.You will certainly eat more veggies and pulses, lentils etc.If could only have one cook book this would be it.

Really lovely books. Using them as part of the collection although they can be used as cookbooks and are very informative for me personally I just like to look at them on the shelf.

What a book - full of great recipes.

Great Greek cookbook. Very well laid out. The Greek cookbook.

Phaidon which I think is not only the name of a god but also a carriage? Have a great range of authoritative cookbooks. They are not the homely times you fall in love with because they become your best friend. More they are the teacher you have a life long crush upon. They are spare on unnecessary charm or entertainment advice. They are grand indeed on nationality, authenticity and flavour. They are simply beautiful books. Possibly the best cookbooks available today. Try one, you won't regret it. I love cookbooks and this.is a whole range, each one amongst the best ever written. Watch out as well for the more diminutive volumes that focus on a single style of food than a national cuisine. I have pizza and ice cream which says just.about.all you need to know about me.

Excellent book perfect for the getting you Greek fix

plenty off meals to try good book

Phaidon cookbooks are amazing. I have 10 of them. Well written, well printed, sturdily bound, and tastefully illustrated. These cookbooks are doorways to the cuisine contained within. You get an overview of the country, and how its climate and resources affect its cuisine. The Greece cookbook has menus submitted by famous Greek chefs, so you can have the restaurant experience in your home. For the price of one meal in a Greek restaurant, you have the opportunity to have Greek food whenever you want. In these uncertain times, that’s an excellent deal. I highly recommend this cookbook.
