Professor PAE Dimitris Koureta & author and chef Ilias Mamalakis present the benefits of Greek cuisine, that is, what we need to know about food while preserving their organoleptic characteristics, and at the same time offer us delicious recipes tested in daily life. This combination of scientific knowledge and lived experience makes the book unique!

Initially, you will find useful information about the history, nutritional value, and beneficial properties of various types of food that arise from laboratory research. Then, myths about food that have been incorrectly established are presented, as well as characteristics that we may be unaware of, revealing small secrets for utilizing food. Finally, recipes that come from tradition are provided.

A few words from the authors: “The extremely simple suggestion we make is: follow seasonality in cooking, and you will gain greatly, both economically and in terms of health and taste.” Ilias Mamalakis. “This book aims to contribute to our effort to reclaim the value of Greek food and, of course, to relearn things we have forgotten regarding health, for ourselves and our children.” Dimitris Koureta
