Greek Cooking for Everyone

Rating:
Summary: A Wonderful Source of Traditional Greek Recipes
Review: 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.
