The earth, dried out from the summer, eagerly receives the water of the first rain. Aromas rise from the soil, the green tips of the grass once again adorn the fields. The first herbs, the delicate-stemmed cyclamens, the mushrooms, the first chestnuts. The days begin to shorten and as the summer fruits and vegetables come to an end, we try to preserve them by making pickles and jams. It is the season of apples, pears, and quinces, but also the time of the grape harvest, with grapes and must taking center stage, lending their flavor to sweet and savory dishes. My favorite color in autumn cooking is the orange of the pumpkin. I love to see this warm hue on my plates. With the intriguing ginger, I spice up my soups and desserts. It is the season when I increasingly seek warmth, coziness, and a steaming kitchen.
Giorgos Tsoulis takes us on a journey through fifteen unique places in our country, in a travelogue that aims to discover its gastronomic diamonds, learn from its traditions, and honor the flavors that have always been present on the Greek table.
A journey through the four seasons of the year, with enchanting landscapes of mountains and seas, exploring villages, islands, and proud cities throughout the Greek countryside. A beautiful menu of thirty-eight recipes that respect seasonality, honor local products, utilize every ingredient, remind us of the value of tradition, and encourage everyone to discover the gastronomy of Greece.
Flavors that marry the history of Greek cuisine with the modern perspective of the Chef, perfect for your everyday and festive tables, filled with aroma and essence, like a stroll on the island, like a walk in the village, like a big hug on Greek soil and all that it generously offers.
