My Kosmos My Kitchen - Easy...

Loulla Astin

In ancient times, Greek ambrosia was believed to be the food of the gods.

Here at last is a collection of modern, traditional, and most importantly foolproof Greek recipes by renowned chef Loulla Astin.

For Loulla there�s nothing quite like the feeling one gets when descending the aeroplane�s stairs arriving in Cyprus and Greece; from the nostalgic aroma that engulfs the senses as the hot air wraps itself around your body like a cosy blanket, to the natural kind gestures of the locals that warms everybody�s hearts. The Greeks have a unique word for it: �Philoxenia�. More than just hospitality, it translates as �a friend to a stranger�, but is actually deeper in meaning.

These beautiful recipes are intertwined memories and stories from Loulla�s childhood in Cyprus and her visits to Greece both professionally while filming 52 programmes of �Simply Greek� for Granada�s Sky Breeze, and as a tourist in various locations.

With this book, Loulla will take you back to the warm inviting times spent in the tavernas and family homes of Cyprus and Greece.

Yiamas!
