I remember in my childhood, Wednesday and Friday were fasting days for the family. We usually had legumes or something cooked in olive oil. Through this long-standing tradition, I began to appreciate the nutritional value and taste of these foods and realized that fasting is part of the Greek diet—and not only that—and brings us closer to a healthy lifestyle, while offering nutritional balance in our daily lives. Beyond a religious habit, fasting expresses our deeper need and desire for abstinence. For a healthier way of life. Today, it is also a trend to ground ourselves and feel even more connected to nature. To appreciate and enjoy its goods and fruits. The rich Greek land encourages us to turn to vegetarianism and surprises us with the abundance of tasty, nutritious, and filling recipes it can create.
For the devoted vegetarians, for the fasting enthusiasts, for the nostalgics of classic home-cooked meals, for the strict seafood lovers, for the fans of changes and experiments, for those who "watch their diet," but also for those who "can't live without meat." A book that challenges you to try it and challenged me to prove to you how with simple, basic, primary ingredients you can create the most delicious, nutritious, and filling recipes. My way of bringing people to the same table with dishes that satisfy everyone's tastes and debunking myths about food, through my imagination and passion for creation.
