The Real Greek At Home

More about the book

They’re the dishes enjoyed in homes all over Greece, from tiny islands to the mainland cities—foods for the stomach and for the soul, because meal times in Greece are rich with tradition. The Real Greek at Home is part cookbook, part cultural exploration. From the islands come simple dishes like rolled fresh sardines, roast feta with oregano, and spinach and yogurt salad. From the cities comes more sophisticated food, like chicken with young courgettes or lemon and dill bread. And from the sea, honest dishes like barbequed lobster with parsley spread and stewed squid with horta.
