In its 168 pages you will find 65 recipes, divided into categories and consisting of all the ingredients and detailed instructions needed to bring a traditional Greek dish to life in your kitchen, tasting exactly as you would enjoy it in a small taverna by the Aegean Sea. 

The menu includes mezedes, salads, pies, stews, seafood, traditional Greek dishes and of course traditional desserts: 65 traditional Greek recipes with step-by-step instructions for guaranteed success, as well as vegan/gluten-free options. 

This book has been made with the same “ingredients” each Greek dish contains: love, passion, respect for tradition, as well as a fresh look into the food chapter. It aspires to create a tasty memory for each and every Greek tastes’ lover and to constitute a tasty reason to visit Greece for every world traveller.

Welcome to the world of MY GREEK SWEETS, a cookbook that will take you on a journey into the sweet side of Greece. Tradition, emotion, history and fine Greek products are mixed with time-honoured and contemporary techniques to create an alluring mosaic of homemade Greek confectionery, through 65 beloved recipes curated by Ioanna Stamoulou.

Olive oil, yoghurt, honey, tahini, mastic from Chios, chocolate, fruit and nuts feature in recipes which have been passed down from generation to generation and accompany us in our daily lives. Recipes that epitomise what Greece is, a crossroads between East and West, where a baking pan has the power to bring together all peoples with its festive and everyday confections.

Greek sweets are much more than a dessert eaten at a restaurant or family table. In actual fact, Greek tradition was never partial to desserts. In Greece, sweets have always been about socialising. Part of an entire ritual of hospitality, consideration, acceptance, sharing, affection and benevolence. In Greece, sweets are treats offered with a warm smile!

So come, let us offer you – through this book – sweets with history, sweets with a backstory, sweets that have stood the test of time. Recipes that you can easily make, share with your loved ones, and feel the timeless comfort of a homemade sweet with Greek coffee.

Because Greek Cuisine has always been Vegan

My Greek Vegan Food will guide you through the healthy, plant-based side of Greek cuisine, through a wide variety of traditional and modern vegan recipes brought to you by Eva Monochari and Ioanna Pavlaki. It is a book that aspires to introduce Greek cuisine to a worldwide audience as the vegan diet of choice.

Vegetables, legumes, cereals, fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil have long formed the foundation of Greek cuisine. A cuisine that respects seasonality, instinctively knows the optimal combinations, and moreover is inexpensive to prepare using the freshest ingredients, while lacking nothing in terms of flavour and nutritional value.

This book contains 65 beloved recipes that you will enjoy preparing on an everyday basis, with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that guarantee success. Delectable olive oil-based creations, fluffy pies, fibre-rich legumes, healthy salads, delicious appetisers, homemade breads, fragrant spreads, classic Greek dishes in their vegan version and traditional desserts make up this practical and modern “green” anthology of Greek cuisine.
