Modern Greek: Healthy Mediterranean Cooking

Delicious and healthy, redolent of the flavours of the Mediterranean, and perfect for the way we like to eat today - it's no wonder that Greek food is so beloved. This book offers 170 wonderful recipes for everything from meze appetisers to luscious pastry desserts.

This delightful cookbook draws together ingredients from the everyday Greek kitchen - all of them readily available - such as cheeses and yoghurt, vegetables and legumes, rice and pasta, seafoods and meats, and, of course, olives, and transforms them into easy and exciting dishes with a seasonal twist.

Here is Greek cuisine in all its rich diversity, including dishes that highlight the country's regional gems, the legacy of ancient Greece, and the lively mixture of Turkish, Balkan, and Venetian influences. Many of the recipes are traditional dishes Andy Harris has collected over extensive visits to hidden mountain and island villages while others are updated interpretations, adapting Greek foods and cooking techniques to today's kitchens.

Beautifully photographed, this book reveals the colourful dishes and timeless ingredients of this much-loved cuisine in a fresh and contemporary light.
