Publisher's Synopsis
Greek cuisine captures the colours and flavours of the Mediterranean like no other. With a history as rich as the food it offers, traditional Greek recipes are based on the produce of the land and the bounty of the surrounding sea. Classic dishes from mezze to moussaka, spanakopita to slow-roasted lamb, as well as salad and vegetable dishes and traditional village favourites. Celebration dishes are included too, with an entire section on the sweet desserts and pastries that the Greek Isles have made famous. There's also an illustrated glossary of Greek ingredients for newcomers to Grecian cuisine.
