First published in hardcover in 1993, The Foods of Greece was a book to read, as well as to cook from. It transported readers to the Greek islands and mainland with recipes collected from the entire country. Now STC is pleased to make this award-winning cookbook, with its lush full-color photographs, available in a paperback format.<P>Mediterranean cuisine is widely touted both for its intense flavors and its nutritious value, and Greek food -- with its abundance of vegetables, grains, fruit, fish, herbs and spices -- is perhaps the most savory and healthful of all. Here, an internationally renowned expert on the food of her homeland shares her personal selection of 135 regional dishes made from readily available ingredients. Kremezi's entertaining text blends history, mythology, religion, and folklore to provide a fascinating backdrop to this incomparable way of eating.Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
