Mothers learning curve - Now Son's Learning curve
Pure Greek food. My Mother originally given her Greek copy back in the early 70's and learned to cook from this obviously with some modification to suit our Cypriot taste buds. I was told there was a translated copy of this book, and started my search in Cyprus to no avail. Coming back to England Amazon was the place to search and here it is.

This book is reduced in size but contains the contents from the original (I have compared). This book now nearly 6months in my grasp I have learnt to cook the dishes that I was fed till the day my parents retired. Now that I have to fend for my self I find great comfort with this book in helping me learn those traits my mother learnt and tasting those dishes which taught us the meaning of tasty food GREEK Food.

Moussaka, Stuffed Vine leaves, Stifado, Kleftiko, dips, salads there all here and so much more. This is the only Greek cook book you will ever need.

No wonder I bought two copies in case I loose one

This Cookbook is highly recommended!! Thanks Amazon!
I was delighted to discover this cookbook on Amazon. It was interesting to hear that it was also reviewed by a reviewer whose family hail from Cyprus, and this was one of the reasons for me purchasing it, as I like authentic cookery, and it goes without saying that this book really makes the grade. It doesn't contain lots of preambles, nor much information on Greece or the cuisine, however I found that this simple volume which was originally published in the Greek language in 1969, is a bestseller in Greece and contains 500 recipes. No colour plates, no intros, but an extensive collection of easy recipes to follow. With chapters on Spoon Sweets, Pastries, Desserts, and detailed information on dealing with Fillo pastry, if you have a sweet tooth these chapters are for you. The book has a good selection of rice and pasta dishes. There are seven different recipes for Moussakas,and only one of them contains aubergines!
