Greek cuisine is fantastic. It is, of course, an expression of Mediterranean cuisine, with all its values and characteristics, but it is also something more. The geographical location of our country has greatly influenced its culinary culture. As a crossroads of civilizations, it has influences from many different cuisines, mainly from the East. This is also the reason why the range of our cuisine is broader, and it includes ingredients that are not commonly used, for example, in Italy. As I see it, in Greek cuisine we have chosen the best elements from every culture! Greek cuisine has no limits. Other cuisines have "foundations." England, for example, has potatoes, purees. In our country, any ingredient you see at the greengrocer or butcher can be turned into ten or twenty different dishes. I believe that Greece, in terms of variety, is the most privileged country in the world.
If there is magic in cooking, it is all hidden in mom's food. In the food that awaited us every day when we returned from school, in that which gathered us around the table on Sunday, but also in the meals we enjoyed lounging on the couch, in front of the television, or waited to savor for comfort. But what is it that makes mom's food magical? For me, it is the memories it awakens, from the first to the last bite.
These memories are the main ingredient of the book you hold in your hands. Following them, I created a definitive taste guide for the whole family, as well as for all those who are far away from it and seek a stable point of reference – better than food, I can’t think of.
Over 260 recipes from the Greek, traditional, "mom's" cuisine compose one of the most comprehensive cookbooks, which comes to answer the question "What should I cook today?" in the best possible way.
