A Culinary Voyage Around The Greek Islands

Product Description

Conceived as a day under the sail, A Culinary Journey around the Greek Islands by celebrated Greek cook & food writer Theodore Kyriakou explores the rich diversity of simple, uncomplicated food that the Greek islanders have created, despite being forced to work with a very restricted palette. Where islands have their own particularly fascinating ingredients, he examines these in detail, as well as providing traditional & original recipes using them. Theodore Kyriakou sets out not only to covey the inventiveness of the cuisine, but also to communicate the character of the islands & as the sheer pleasure to be had sailing these waters from dawn to dusk. Taking in the rhythm of the day under sail, & a sense of the natural elements & seasons, there are recipes linked to the time of day, as well as ingredient & preparations that one would encounter along the journey. These are followed by studies of the store-cupboard items so valuable to the islanders & on board the ship; local meat & poultry; festive food; & dishes for dinner on the beach & under the stars. The text not only provides a wealth of fascinating recipes but takes the reader on an unforgettable journey to some of the most magical spots on earth to share the excitement of each landfall.
