The culinary heritage of Greece is shaped by the sun, the sea and the rich Mediterranean land. It makes full use of ripe summer fruits, herbs and vegetables, particularly tomatoes and olives, and ingredients fresh from the farms and small-holdings - succulent lamb; fish; yogurt; feta cheese, and home-baked bread. This book opens with an inspiring introduction to Greek cuisine followed by a section of authentic recipes for every occasion - mezes, family meals, summer barbecues and celebrations. The glorious dishes included here will allow you to recreate the atmosphere of sunny Greece and its islands in your own cooking and entertaining.
