The Foods Of The Greek Islands: Cooking and Culture at the Crossroads of the Mediterranean Paperback – March 31, 2015

I love Greek food and my favoriteGreek closed and I’m forced to make it myself. Now, I know how to prepare octopus and several other wonderful dishes.

I love the fact that it includes recipes from a 3 Michelin star Greek restaurant, as well as the fact that they included an amazing cross section of Greek dishes.

The recipes are nice, and the layout of the book is good; Also Aglaia gives nice tips in many of the recipes, and variations of what can be used instead of the particular one in the recipes. and the photo's that are in the book are very nice. It was well worth the money. I am very pleased with this book.

Bought this book when it was first released in hardcover, and love it! My family is 100 percent Greek, and we love the authentic island recipes. Not only are the recipes great, the history of the islands and how the people live is so very interesting. I have been to the islands several times, so I can tell you first hand that I have experienced so much of the cuisine written in this book and it's awesome! So many healthy/tasty dishes to choose from, and it is very easy to find the ingredients for these recipes at you local fruit and vegetable market. Buy this book-you won't be sorry. It is not easy to find a cookbook that is strictly from the islands. Another awesome Greek cookbook from one of the islands is "Ikaria", by Diane kochilas, and "Mediterranean vegetarian feasts", by Aglaia kremezi.

Came quickly in good condition.

It's missing the pictures to direct into recipes

This is one of my family's favorite cookbooks. Between the 5 of us, we now have 3 copies. Directions are clear and easy to follow, and there is extra information for some steps as well as information about the region the food comes from. Highly recommend.

Just returned from a trip to the Cyclades Islands and wanted to reproduce some of the incredible dishes I enjoyed so I purchased this cookbook. A bit disappointing with lack of variety of dishes but I understand that each area of Greece is different in their cuisine.
