my big, fat greek cookbook

“It's the old chicken that makes good broth.”
--Greek saying

Anyone with a penchant for pasticcio and a taste for tarama should dip into Vefa Alexiadou’s simple and delicious new culinary tome.

In Vefa’s Kitchen, the Hellenic Martha Stewart shares classic recipes for dolmades, saganaki, moussaka and more. With over 650 recipes and 200 photos, this is the bible of Greek cooking.

Time to crack open the Retsina, blare out the bouzouki and picture yourself at a taverna in the Aegean.
