In this gem of a cook book by Fannie Venos and Lillian Prichard, you will find over 160 authentic Greek recipes from a multitude of contributors. These are time-honored cuisines from all corners of Greece: from the Dodecanese Islands, to Athens, to Aegina, to Crete, and all villages and islands in between. Covering all types of dishes from sauces, soups, pastries, and salads to vegetables, fowl, fish, lamb, and beef, you will find here a reflection of the Greek palate that has won so much accolade worldwide.
Venos and Prichard also include dishes and customs for the special days Greeks are famous for celebrating: Easter, Epiphany Day, and, of course, weddings. Have the delicious Stuffed Lamb Halki Style or choose among a variety of stuffed vegetable recipes, including three for grape leaves. If seafood is on your mind, try the broiled trout with oregano or with lemon sauce, or braised or fried shrimp. And then there are the pastries: 38 recipes, including baklava, almond cake, Turkish delights, sugar cakes, popovers, cheesecake and, of course, full directions on how to make the essential filo dough.
If you have a palate that yearns for good food or are planning to travel to the Aegean, Can the Greeks Cook! is an excellent source to inform you, give you many dishes to try out, and pique your appetite!
