The Food and Wine of Greece More Than 300 Classic and Modern Dishes from the Mainland and Islands Diane Kochilas 9780312087838 Books Reviews

• Super with easy and well tested recipes
• I specifically purchased this book in the hopes that it might contain the recipe for the Ouzo Sauce in the Shrimp and Scallops in Ouzo served in the Pylos restaurant in NYC. Sadly, it does not. It does have several hundred other delicious Greek recipes. I'd compare it to the Joy of Cooking if Joy handled only Greek food. It doesn't have pictures, so if that's a deal breaker for you, you may prefer her newest title, The Country Cooking of Greece, which has many pictures and also covers a lot of ground. As a first-generation Greek-American, I'm glad I can have this resource for when my Yiayia is not able to offer her own recipes.
• Excellent. Old. World. Recipes. Easy. To. Follow. And. Prepare
• A Greek cookbook was missing from my library, I used to think it similar to Mexican Food, why not just go out for it when you have the urge. After dropping that line of thinking and getting this book, I have to admit what a mistake. The book has some serious depth and happy its my first introduction in Greek Cuisine.
• We are so blessed here in the Detroit Metro area to have Greek Town with all its outstanding restaurants. You can even get their cookbook which is excellent Opaa! Greek Cooking Detroit Style.
  Kochilas' cookbook is even larger with over 300 recipes plus variations on most dishes, background sketches and wonderful memories of the dishes she's describing.
  I am in love with the way Greeks do Lamb Stews--scented with allspice and cinnamon with just right acidic balance of rich tomato sauce. Kochilas' recipe Arni Kapam (Lamb in a Spicy Tomato Sauce) has become a favorite. Surprisingly so, I am a nut for Snails, so her Cochli me Pligoui (Snail and Bulgur Pilaf) is out of this world as well as the Cretan Classic Snail Stew.
  Her classic Pastitsio and Mousakka are excellent as well as Chicken-Lemon Soup and syrupy Bakliva desserts.
  One fine, well done cookbook.
• Great book with tons of easily prepared Greek recipes, and a great tie-in to the TV series!
• Always wanted to know how to cook Greek.
  Have enjoyed making the recipes
• Nice variety of recipes and tips for Greek food
