Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by Epicurious In Cooking with Loula, Alexandra Stratou invites readers into her Greek family's kitchen, revealing their annual traditions and bringing their recipes to life--with touching remembrances of Kyria Loula (Kyria means "Mrs." in Greek), the woman who cooked for three generations of Stratou's family and who taught her that the secret ingredient in any beloved dish is the spirit the cook brings with her to the kitchen. Many classic dishes are represented here, such as pastitsio and dolmades, as well as inventive, unconventional creations such as a green salad with avocado, apple, and Dijon mustard and a spinach gnocchi in which feta cheese appears alongside Gorgonzola. The nearly 100 recipes are all hearty and unfussy, and organized the way real home cooks think, with chapters for simple, healthful weekday dishes; more languorous Sunday meals; and traditional holiday fare. With hundreds of mouthwatering photographs and whimsical illustrations, this book is truly a gem. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I have had some Greek food, but do not eat it regularly, so this review is coming from a novicey-newbie point of view. This cookbook is stuffed with recipes, more than I expected. Lately cookbooks have seemed to be a bit thin on quality content, but this is packed with well-known classics and recipes that I am unfamiliar with, and some that do not seem to be traditionally Greek.
The book is laid out much like how a modern cookbook is done, with the author's philosophy, ingredient and equipment explanations, and useful tips. Also provided is a directory of the recipes with cooking times and course type (Main, Dessert, etc), which I liked. There also was a directory of the seasonality of Mediterranean ingredients, which I can see would be useful for those trying to really work on their Mediterranean cooking skill, but was not interesting to me.
The recipes are clearly written, easy to understand and thorough. When reading them, I felt like I could achieve the results and not have too many questions about the processes included.
Overall, a lovely introduction to Greek cooking, and the cooking style of Chef Stratou. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Greek cuisine.
