I'm surprised to see that this author has already written many other cookbooks. From the quality of writing and editing, I would have guessed first time author, probably self-published.

Some of it is little things. The author doesn't know what turning 180° means. She actually means 45°.
Some of it is basic kitchen shortcuts. She totally ignores the possibility of using canned beans and chickpeas.
Some of it is choosing so much deep frying.
She also doesn't bother with the Greek names even of show more familiar dishes. And her names are sometimes things like 'Greek Nachos' or 'Greek Guacamole'.
Some of the recipes look interesting, but a lot look very much like modern international recipes with Greek 'flavour'.

I made the Beet-Feta Dip. It's OK, but not as good as I thought it might be. My husband and I have been discussing what to add to make us want to eat it. show less

Also das Buch ist sehr stimmungsvoll und es macht Lust auf einen Winterabend mit leckerem Gerichten auf dem Herd.
Leider sind es nicht unbedingt Gericht für eine Familie, meine Mutter (Jahrgang 1942) wäre begeistert all ihre damaligen Kindergerichte, aber meine locke ich da nicht hinter dem Ofen hervor. Ein buch zum schmökern und zum achjadaswürdeleckerriechenundkeineressen.
Aber ich werde einiges umsetzten wollen und dann mal gucken was die Familiengourmets sagen.:-)
