The Foods Of The Greek Islands

Cooking and Culture at the Crossroads of the Mediterranean.

A lavishly illustrated, lively exploration of the varied cuisine of the Greek Islands. Like all Mediterranean food, these dishes are light and healthful, simple but never plain, and make extensive use of seasonal produce, fresh herbs, and fish. Passed from generation to generation by word of mouth, most have never before been written down. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs of the islanders preparing their specialities and filled with stories of island history and customs, 'The Foods of the Greek Islands' is for all cooks and travellers who want to experience this diverse and deeply rooted cuisine first-hand.
