The book you are holding in your hands is the 8th book by Stelios Parliaros. The inspiration for the theme and the recipes came from his trip to the village of Anneyron in France, 100 kilometers outside of Lyon, where he attended a seminar related to the production and technique of frozen fruits and juices.

With this experience, he had the opportunity to understand everything related to fruits and their juices. However, beyond the scientific approach, what has always fascinated the author is the mystery that fruits conceal within them. Each fruit individually, but also all together, is a broad smile of the Creator towards His Creatures.

It is the colorful depiction of moments of life, sweet but also sour, even bitter ones that linger on the palate. Moments that excite some and discourage others. Colors, many colors, in the most mysterious and inexplicable shades, that provoke and invite, colors that the human brush cannot express.

Working with fruits, one understands the grandeur of Nature, that of the tormented Mother who sends us her desperate messages. And when you are a professional, when your job is to search for details that will please others, then you begin creating combinations, becoming enchanted, and continue, always ecstatic in front of the result. Each fruit is a challenge, and for those who know Stelios Parliaros, challenges do not leave him indifferent.
