Book Description
Eva Zane spent a lifetime studying and absorbing the culinary and cultural traditions of her beloved Greece. As the child of two Greek food lovers and the chef-owner of several Greek and Mediterranean restaurants in San Francisco, Zane has never been far from the tangy aroma of calamari in white wine and lemon juice or the crackle of succulent young goat roasting over an open charcoal pit. In "Greek Cooking for the Gods," Eva Zane has compiled a thorough and profoundly authentic collection of Greek recipes honed by years of loving experimentation and refinement ranging from playful appetizers like stuffed cucumbers, stuffed grape leaves, and spanakopetas, to traditional soups, salads, hearty entrees, and delectable desserts. Other favorite menu items include spaghetti with clam sauce, stuffed lamb shoulder with eggplant, and taramosalata. She even includes advice and menu ideas for special occasions and religious celebrations as well as a chapter on Greek wine and spirit pairings. If you are interested in developing your Mediterranean palate or endeavor to recreate the flavors of your Greek grandmother's beloved home-cooked meals, let "Greek Cooking for the Gods" take you on a delightful culinary adventure to the sea-salt breezes and bright blue waters of the Aegean isles.
