Publisher Description
Ask three Yiayias for the same recipe, and you'll get three different answers, all of them correct, all delivered with total confidence, and all missing at least one ingredient "you just know to add."
The Greek Table is a collection of the dishes that show up at Sunday dinners, name day celebrations, Easter tables, and the impromptu gatherings where there's somehow always enough food for twelve more people than were invited. From crispy Spanakopita and creamy Tzatziki to slow-simmered Moussaka and Pastitsio, honey-soaked Baklava and golden Loukoumades, these aren't fussy, restaurant-plated recipes. They're the ones built for a crowded table, a basket of bread doing double duty as a utensil, and the certainty that no one leaves hungry, no matter how hard they try to leave early.
Inside you'll find:
Mezedes & Appetizers-Tzatziki, Spanakopita, Dolmades, Keftedes, Saganaki
Salads & Soups-Horiatiki, Avgolemono, Fasolada
Main Dishes-Moussaka, Pastitsio, Souvlaki, Gemista, Briam
Sides-Greek Lemon Potatoes, Horta
Desserts-Baklava, Galaktoboureko, Loukoumades, Kourabiedes
Complete with clear, home-cook-friendly instructions and the stories behind each dish, this is Greek home cooking exactly as it should be: generous, unfussy, and built for sharing.
Kali orexi, good appetite, and welcome to the table.
