Complete Book of Greek Cooking

More than 200 gloriously delicious recipes for wholesome, home-style Greek dishes and desserts!Decades ago, a group of women from Saint Paul's Church in Hempstead, New York, decided to put together a Greek cookbook, to preserve some of the traditional recipes and at the same time raise money for their church. They called themselves the Recipe Club. They soon had a hit on their hands and followed up with a second cookbook full of hearty, delicious Greek food. They were even featured in a New York Times article by famed food writer Florence Fabricant. Collecting the best recipes from these collector's-item cookbooks, this new volume celebrates a cuisine based on wholesome ingredients, with the emphasis on fresh vegetables, olive oil, and other natural foods. Some updates have been made like shortening prep times where possible and trimming calorie counts in desserts but the Recipe Club's goal remains the same: supporting their beloved church and sharing delicious traditional dishes. And as always, they wish you kalli orexi "e;good appetite!"e;
