Love, Laughter and Lunch

Food is nothing without the love of the people who share it. As a young girl, Helen Tsanos Sheinman grew up eating and cooking with a large and boisterous Cypriot family, and developed a passion for food as a gateway to reconnect with her heritage. For Helen, food is also an unfaltering opportunity to create wonderful new memories with family and friends. In Love, Laughter and Lunch: The Evocative Memories of a Cypriot Family's Journey Recalled Through Traditional Greek Cypriot Recipes That are Perfect for Today, she invites readers to visit her childhood growing up in London, and her adulthood spent in New York and on the Greek Island of Serifos, through over 25 mouth-watering, easy-to-make recipes that have been passed down by her family from generation to generation. Featuring photography of Helen's culinary creations and dazzling images of unique pottery and textiles made by contemporary Cypriot artisans, Love, Laughter and Lunch will undoubtedly hold a special place in your heart for years to come. AUTHOR: Helen Tsanos Sheinman was raised in London, by Cypriot parents.
