The
Foods of the Greek Islands : Cooking and Culture at the Crossroads of the
Mediterranean
by Aglaia Kremezi (Photographer), Jim Botsacos
The food of the Greek Islands, which stretch from the Turkish shore
to the eastern Ionian Sea, is simple but packed with flavor. Aglaia Kremezi
has gathered over 150 recipes from these ancient, sunny lands and presented
them with fascinating historical and cultural notes in The Foods of the
Greek Islands, a landmark collection. The dishes she offers, such as Spaghetti
with Lobster Sauce, Meatballs with Rice and Herbs in Lemon Broth, and Baked
Mixed Vegetables, are as easy to prepare as they are wonderful to eat.
Readers long hoping to find authentic recipes for the best Greek cooking,
and those who enjoy fine Mediterranean food, should hail the book.
Beginning with island-by-island food profiles, the book then offers
sections on meze, the famed small-dish appetizers; pitas and pies; entrees;
seasonal salads; bread; and desserts. Welcome attention is also given to
beans, rice, bulgur, and pastas, and dishes such as White Bean Soup with
Wild Celery and Lemon, Bulgur with Chicken Liver and Currants, and Penne
with Olive Oil and Toasted Cheese should become everyday and special-occasion
household favorites. Bread and dessert recipes are equally satisfying:
Kremezi's Olive and Mint Bread and Saffron, Allspice, and Pepper Biscuits,
among others, will please bakers amateur and pro, while the sweets, based
on honey, fruits, nuts, and cheese, are similarly tempting. Illustrated
with color photos, and with a comprehensive ingredient glossary, the book
is a window on cooking few of us could enjoy until its much appreciated
arrival. --Arthur Boehm - Amazon.com

My
Family and Other Animals (Penguin Nature Classics)
by Gerald Malcolm Durrell
As a self-described "champion of small uglies," English writer Gerald
Durrell (1925-1995) devoted his life to writing and the preservation of
wildlife, from the Mauritius pink pigeon to the Rodriques fruit bat. My
Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of
the Greek island of Corfu, but ended up as a delightful account of his
family's experiences that were, according to him, "rather like living in
one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas." As a 10-year-old
boy, Gerry left England for Corfu with "all those items that I thought
necessary to relieve the tedium of a long journey: four books on natural
history, a butterfly net, a dog, and a jam-jar full of caterpillars all
in imminent danger of turning into chrysalids." Durrell's descriptions
of his family and its many eccentric hangers-on (he stresses that "all
the anecdotes about the island and the islanders are absolutely true")
are highly entertaining, as is the procession of toads, scorpions, geckos,
ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, the puppies Widdle and Puke, and the Magenpies.
This is a lovely book. Amazon.com
