Aphrodite's Food For The Gods

The ultimate greek cookbook compiled from traditional family recipes. New revised & expanded edition! Now over 100 pages of delicious recipes, stories, information and a pinch of Greek humor to entertain and stir your creative enjoyment. Greek cooking is fun! Greek cooking may best be described as the loving preparation of hearty, delicious meals as pleasing to the senses of sight and smell as the palate. The dishes are meant to be shared over a long period of time, nourishing communication as well as the body. American Greeks are just as likely as those in the old country to carry on the custom of enjoying a lengthy meal with lively conversation. Just because Greek dishes are hearty does not mean they must be full of fat and calories. We have taken care to give you authentic recipes along with some tested substitutions to remove as much fat as possible while maintaining the integrity of the original recipe. Greek food is also healthy. In general little red meat is included in a Greek diet. They use an abundance of fresh vegetable and include ripe fruit with most meals. Desserts are reserved for special occasions rather than part of the everyday diet.
