The Greek Vegetarian Cookbook

"Create a real taste of sunshine without needing to pack a suitcase." -  Vegetarian Living

Drawing inspiration from all over Greece, the book simplifies this hugely popular cuisine with easily achievable, nourishing recipes so satisfying and tasty that they appeal to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Introductions to each recipe often provide additional information on ingredients and serving suggestions and many suggest variations to the dish itself. The Greek Vegetarian Cookbook follows Phaidon's other successful vegetarian cookbooks in this series: The Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookbook and The Indian Vegetarian Cookbook.

"Makes clear that meatless dishes are normative. Some recipes include dairy and eggs, but lots don't. As the author observes: "Vegan food might have taken the rest of the world by storm but it's not new to the Greeks - they've been eating it for centuries." This is authentic cooking. Though eating the equivalent of fasting food over Christmas is something new." —  Melanie McDonagh, Evening Standard
