Greece: The Cookbook

Just bought this as a mother's day gift so my mom and I can make some of the dishes from her childhood. She loved looking through it -- it awakened so many memories of her childhood and we have a whole list of things to make! So far, the pork dish we made tasted amazing!

I was seriously amazed at the size of this book! Coming from a Greek family these recipes are truly authentic. Can’t wait to try them!

This is a great cook book which has beautifully arranged images of the dishes you will be cooking. Recipes span across various Greek regions. I was pleasantly surprised to find recipes from my area Peloponnesus and island recipes, recipes from Thraki etc. Great value, love the cover as well.

I bought this as a gift for my son. It is a very large and well put together cookbook. High quality photos of the recipes. If you enjoy cooking Greek food, this is a must have! With the amount of recipes included, I can’t imagine anything has been left out.

I really like this cookbook. I've tried a couple of the recipes and they turned out great. The one slight flaw is that some recipes deserve an illustration or two on the technique used instead of just a verbal description. For instance I made Manti which are little dumping made with pasta dough and I had to use Youtube to see how to fold them.

A very good cookbook of Greek food, it is well laid out and easy to follow, best Greek cookbook I have seen and used.

This is simply the best Greek cookbook. Mrs. Alexiadou is the Marcella Hazan of Greece and has captured all the traditional national and regional Greek dishes in this masterpiece that is easy to read, has great photos, and is well indexed.

So many recipes and just to read them made me hungry just don't know what to try first so many delicious recipes to try, really happy with this book

Fantastic recipes. The books is gorgeous.

El libro llegó dañado de muchas partes y con manchas en la parte de atrás, sin envolura. Si es para regalo, definitivamente no lo recomiendo.

This book is clearly the authors life works. Ive spent the whole evening browsing through it. It's weighty, with extensive sections on each category of food. Greek food it is essence is quite simple for most cooks it's all doable. There are for a lot of British cooks some ingredients are not easy to find, like pluck, wild greens, snails, veal ( spinach etc could be used I guess for some greens). However, this book is so extensive the inclusion of these recipes isn't a problem, it's a tiny proportion. Not every recipe has a photo illustration. Again for me this wasn't a problem. You can always use Google, or your cooks imagination. This book is like a bible of greek cooking. Impossible to illustrate everything.I think the best way is to sit back relax, browse and start picking out a recipe go from there. For example extensive chapters for each: vegetable dishes, pasta, legumes, soups, meze, etc etc.I'm going to use this book to increase the Mediterranean style cooking. The author seems to be the Mary Berry of greek cooking, she is famous and respected.Vast majority of the recipe ingredients can be found in any UK supermarket.You will certainly eat more veggies and pulses, lentils etc.If could only have one cook book this would be it.

With plenty recipes and ideas

A must have for Greek food lovers.
