Dewey Decimal Number: 641.59495 EAN: 9780974961705 ISBN: 0974961701 Label: Small Potatoes Press Manufacturer: Small Potatoes Press Number Of Pages: 120 Publication Date: 2004-03 Publisher: Small Potatoes Press Sales Rank: 1073765 Studio: Small Potatoes Press Editorial Review: With an intense appreciation of rich Mediterranean flavors and the tradition of Greek culinary excellence, Chef George Kyrtatas gives old-world recipes a new-world twist in My Big Fat Greek Feast. Emphasizing seasonal ingredients and simple preparations, George’s recipes draw from family experiences and his own creative ideas. Recipes in MY BIG FAT GREEK FEAST are titled in English with the Greek name of specific dishes listed when possible. Lush full color photographs capture the glory of Greek cuisine. Throughout, George provides cooking tips and family stories. Sidebars on almost every page — entitled 'Big Fat Greek Facts'— explain the origin and history of Greek foods and dishes. From flavor-charged first courses, dips, and salads to simple skillet dishes and tempting desserts, these recipes burst with the bold tastes and warmth of a Greek family table and offer a fresh perspective on an ancient cuisine.

 Rating: - Great Greek cooking . . . and a whole lot more!Being Greek and a NON-gourmet cook, I give my highest recommendation to this book! The true test is the quality of the recipes. The several dishes I've made have come out wonderfully and were enthusiastically received by my (sometimes picky) family. George Kyrtatas comes as billed--he truly does present the Greek classics and essentials, with an occasional modern twist, yielding wonderful results. Chef George does a great job of simplifying what could be complex recipes (I know from my own family's culinary background) and making them manageable for the average cook. I also love how he emphasizes creativity and substitution in the kitchen, which is a facility possessed by any good cook. Not only does Chef George teach you how to be a good Greek cook, he helps you become a better cook, period. In addition, the facts, tips, and personal notes he sprinkles throughout the book are incredibly interesting, serving to season his collection with the flavor of Greek history and culture. This book is a definite keeper in my culinary library and is sure to become a well-worn classic. Rating:  - Great book for those new to Greek foodI bought this cookbook after watching a segment on Digital Cookbook (www.digitalcookbook.tv) and my 7-year-old decided we needed to try making the almond macaroons. Most of the recipes are easy, and have basic ingredients, but I chose not to try procuring rose water for the macaroons...if you always wanted to try making flaming cheese at home, here's your cookbook! Rating: - Great Greek CookbookI've had this book 3 days and have tried 2 recipes! I love the simplicity, easy ingredients as well as big print since I leave my glasses everywhere! As the previous reviewer, I too am Greek, these recipes are just like my yaiya's, mom's and aunts who were all wonderful cooks. Even amateur cooks will enjoy the easy, fun and delicious recipes for all occasions! Thank you George! Rating: - My Big Fat Greek FeastThis cook book is great.It reminds me of the movie The big fat Greek wedding. I have tryed the receipes. I got to tell you I am greek. I believe americans will enjoy these receipes. Folkes need to venture out and try different receipes. My husband is not greek and I try every new receipes on him and my friends. Be ventures!
