With hundreds of simple recipes by Vefa Alexiadou, the authoritative grand dame of Greek cookery, the book also includes information on regional specialities, local ingredients and the religious and historical significance of the dishes, and is illustrated with 230 colour photographs.

Squashing so many dishes into one book means that instructions are terse and photos few — not great if you’ve never made Lenten spaghetti from Corfu or wrestled with 20 sheets of phyllo.
