On first impression, this little book doesn't appear to be much, but appearances are deceptive! This is a very inexpensive cookbook, however it contains every recipe you could wish for or have ever heard of. I believe Mrs Paradissis to be the "Doyenne" of Greek cookery, as a Greek friend eloquently described her. This book is a true classic, and includes a detailed introduction to the cuisine. In here you will find her delicious 'Revani' recipe, and countless recipes for stuffed vegetables, as well as interesting variations on the ubiquitous "Moussakas". This book is well worth its weight in gold. I am now looking for the hardback version. HIGHLY recommended!!

Thank goodness they brought this out in hard-back! - Rated
I replace this book every time I go to Greece on holiday as I use it so much the pages fall out! The recipes are simple and effective and without the 'ballyhoo' usually attached to Greek food. In short, it is Greek food as the Greek housewife cooks it (or as near as it is possible to get outside Greece given the absence of decent oregano or tomatoes!).
