GREEK COOKING FOR EVERYONE helps recreate the atmosphere and mood of a visit to Greece or a Greek festival.. The essence of Greek cooking ....the mood that goes along with the menu....is captured in the comments by authors of this Greek meal planner and cookbook. The crash course in "going Greek" makes the book a good gift for non-Greek cooks as well as those who collect Greek recipes. The book is organized by menus, outlining Greek dinners and presenting the recipes for the complete dinner together. The flair comes in the "accents" suggested by the authors. Highlighted by b/l photos from many parts of Greece, and the larger type makes it easy to refer to the recipes while cooking.--Pappas, Monroe
As the Greek Food Host at Bella Online, I refer to many Greek cookbooks. Greek Cooking For Everyone is one of my favorites. The recipes are very traditional, yet the ingredients are readily available to American cooks. The first few pages of the cookbook offer background information on the staples of Greek cuisine, and tips on stocking a Greek kitchen, which is very helpful and informative. This cookbook is divided into menus rather than types of food (i.e. 'meat menus', 'fish menus', etc.), so that each section provides a meal complete with appetizers and side dishes. Most recipes are for four or more people, so if you are looking for recipes for two, you will have to adjust the measurements. Although this is not the type of cookbook that includes professional, color photographs of Greece, it is a very handy reference and a great source of traditional Greek recipes.
