Review

Recreate those idyllic summer days spent in the Greek islands, dining under the stars with a warm sea breeze carrying the aromas of the local cuisine. Theodore Kyriakou, owner of the renowned London restaurant, The Real Greek, shares his family recipes, proving that Greek food is not just about kebabs. With dishes dating back to Ancient times, he demonstrates the enormous variety of tasty concoctions that have originated in this popular country. Reflecting the Greeks warmth and friendliness, the dishes inspire comfort and well-being: casseroles, pastries, roast meats and preserved fruits and vegetables. Lavishly illustrated with the photographs of Gus Filgate, it is a visual reminder of holidays past, enabling cooks to recreate the taste of Greece in their own home. – Lucy Watson
