Synopsis

The Greek philosophy of food is simple - make it fresh and serve it with warmth and gusto. This book celebrates the art of all Greek cooking, both old and new, showing how it has been influenced for centuries by history and its neighbours including Turkey, the Middle East and the Balkans. Dishes covered are appetizers such as marinated olives, fried cheeses, peppered dried figs, dips of yoghurt or aubergine and spices. There are delicate lemon broths and hearty soups, grilled and fried fish and shellfish, lamb, pork and game in every guise, and fresh vegetables but running throughout all the recipes are the flavours of Greek cooking - cinnamon, cumin, oregano, rosemary, garlic, olives, nuts and yoghurt.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Greek philosophy of food is one of simplicity; make it fresh and full of flavor and serve it with great warmth and flair. It is a cuisine entrenched in history, influenced by the cultures of its neighbors - Turkey, the Middle East, the Balkans but at heart it is unpretentious food from a people who have learned to make the most of what their land has to offer. In this celebration of Greek food Rosemary Barron provides over 250 regional and national specialties, from the olives, feta and seafood of mezes, beautiful little appetizers that can often become a meal in themselves, to delicate lemon broths to hearty bean soups, grilled meats and fish, baked vegetables and pilafs to the fragrant, gooey honey pastries. Greek cooking offers seasonal food perfect for informal eating with family, friends and entertaining. In addition there are chapters on The Greek Kitchen, Breads, The Wines of Greece and Menus for different occasions.
