Wonderful Cookbook and pretty pictures

I just got my Greek Meze cookbook yesterday and I've already made two of the recipes. I bought it on the recommendation of my sweet sister-in-law who is Greek and an excellent cook. The recipes are easy to read and follow. Lots of good, healthy every day food your family will enjoy. My favorite part is the beautiful pictures. I love to see how my finished product should appear.

Beautiful photos and delicious recipes!

I picked this book up at a discount book store. I was getting bored with my small selection of cookbooks at home and I wanted to add something more adventurous to my lineup. Since then, I've tried almost every recipe and they have all worked and tasted beautifully. I made the baklava and it was out of this world! I'll never purchase it again. Also, I now crave things like hummus and olive bread - things I never even tried before I had this cook book. Someone who is seasoned in Greek Meze could weigh in on the authenticity better than I can. All I can say is that book has beautiful photos for almost every recipe, easy instructions, lovely tidbits on Greek life and culture and produces excellent results.

The Best Cookbook I Have Ever Had!

My mother-in-law recently gave me this cookbook and, since then, I have used it almost every day. At this point I have tried about half of the recipes and they are all superb. My husband and my dinner guests have been amazed at the quality of the food I have prepared. The instructions are easy to follow and include estimated preparation times. Suggested menus are strategically placed throughout the book, helping the novice know which dishes complement each other. The book is beautifully illustrated with color photographs of almost all of the finished dishes (so you know how they should be presented) and with photos of Greek landscapes. If I had to cook with just one cookbook the rest of my life, Greek Meze Cooking would be it!
