Feasting and fasting in Crete Delicious Mediterranean Recipes de Diana Farr Louis
More than a cookbook, this is a portrait of the legendary Greek island through
anecdotes, history and traditions connected with its 140 recipes, many of which
are local specialities not found on the mainland. Whether simple dishes for
everyday, festive treats for holidays, Lenten sweets that turn fasting into
feasting, or favorites from some of Crete's best restaurants and tavernas, they
demonstrate why the Mediterranean life style is so beguiling. It will remind
those who know Crete why they love it, and will send readers and cooks who haven't
been there rushing to their travel agent. |
