Greek cooking offers an incredibly rich and diverse array of foods and beverages that are the culmination of literally thousands of years of living, cooking, and eating. While each Greek meal is fresh and inviting, it is also a trip back through Greece's history.

Anyone who has ever visited Greece will have brought back many fond memories of the country, its people and the Greek food. Greece is the land of welcome, with a great tradition of hospitality, whose people are so warm and friendly, you'll never want to leave! It is also the land of feasting, where even the simplest taverna can offer you fresh fish, barbecued meats, the unique 'féta' cheese, fruits and vegetables, all washed down with delightful wines.

When we started compiling this book we took into consideration that most people work and don't have much time for long and complicated preparations. We have therefore selected a small number of basic Greek recipes which are quick to prepare, and hope that you will be tempted to try them out and enjoy! Of course we have also included recipes which require more time, e.g. for that special Sunday lunch. We want you to enjoy cooking Greek food and so most of the Greek dishes are simple to prepare. It is the various spices used by the Greeks that make their food so delicious, especially the herb Oregano.

The Greek Mediterranean people have the lowest rates of diet-linked disease and the longest life expectancy in the world. Traditional Greek cooking is a naturally low-fat, healthy and satisfying cuisine, and this Greek Home Cookery book shares its secrets with you.
