Greek cuisine has a long history—the first ever cookbook was
written by Ancient Greek poet Archestratos in 320 BC—and now
Maria Elia brings the traditional flavors and ingredients of
Greece into the 21st century with her thoroughly modern take
on classic dishes. This is not a book for traditionalists,
but adventurers ready to explore exciting new flavor
combinations and discover what Greek cuisine has to offer.
The 120 recipes are a product of a summer spent cooking and
experimenting at her father’s tavern in the Troodos
mountains of Cyprus. The villagers welcomed her into their
homes, taught her new and old recipes, shared produce from
their gardens and even tried to teach her Greek! She went
shooting with her dad and gathered caper leaves for pickling. The recipes in this book are structured into four sections,
Small Plates, Sharing & Fuller Plates, Salads & Side Plates,
and Sweet Plates. Most have been designed for sharing and
can be mixed and matched to create a modern Greek meal to
share among your friends and family, where plates of food
are placed on the table for guests to help themselves. From
delicious vegetarian dishes such as Carrot Keftedes and
Tomato and Runner Bean Baklava to Marinated Lamb with Feta
Curd or Zucchini-coated Calamari, and a tempting range of
sweet dishes including Watermelon Mahalepi and Greek Yogurt
and Apple Cake, Maria’s inventive recipes will open your
eyes to a whole new world of Greek cooking. Starting with a helpful Greek pantry that includes key
ingredients for your Smashing Plates cupboard and including
over 100 gorgeous location and food photographs, this book
will transport you to the fresh flavors of the Greek islands.
