Here’s food for the time-poor and the kitchen-shy, presented in lively style. Food writer Eleni Psichouli’s book offers the perfect antidote to the pressures that deter busy people from cooking. Starting with a humorous but practical pep talk, she goes on to borrow recipes from high-flying Greek chefs, though not in potentially daunting haute-cuisine mode. Photographed as we rarely see them, in everyday garb, relaxing in front of television, even snacking on pizza, the culinary stars share mouth-watering recipes that anyone can make.
There are unexpected combinations: try the linguini with figs and curry, the unleavened bread with bergamot ice cream, and the split peas with mastic. Classics with a twist include risotto with hot mushroom sauce, and chicken with vegetables and walnuts. The simplest ingredients go together to make delicious flavours, as in Lenten leeks and plums, and a dessert of white cheese, honey, nuts and red peppercorns.
