- Synopsis
- “Retains the innate taste and texture of Mediterranean cuisine while updating the techniques and diet constraints in innovative ways for today’s lifestyle.” —Nathalie Dupree, celebrated Charleston chef Patricia Moore-Pastides, an accomplished cook and public-health professional, presents an appetizing introduction to the wonderful flavors and health benefits of the traditional Mediterranean diet with dozens of easy-to-make and impossible-to-resist recipes.Greek Revival showcases a pantheon of healthy recipes, accompanied by beautiful color illustrations, helpful preparation techniques, and tips for making the most of familiar ingredients, from colorful fresh fruits and vegetables, to whole grains, beans, and seafood. Always mindful of time, health, and budget, the author makes wonderful use of natural, minimally processed ingredients readily found in most neighborhood supermarkets. Recipes include dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with cracked wheat and pine nuts), imam baildi (caramelized eggplant), gemista (vegetables stuffed with barley and mint), xifias souvlaki (herbed swordfish kebabs), tavas (oven-roasted onion, tomato and lamb stew), karidopita (spiced walnut cake), and many more.Throughout the book Moore-Pastides shares lively stories of her days living in Greece and Cyprus that exemplify the enduring charm of an Old World lifestyle. Her observations are supported with illuminating summaries of current scientific research. Health-conscious readers looking to improve their diets and protect themselves from the perils of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease will find hope in the author’s research, presented in a way that is accessible and inspiring.“She shares with us an insider’s view of Greek culture and deserves high praise for her engaging writing, creativity, and deeply felt passion for promoting a more healthy and balanced way of life.” —Zoe Kosmidou, Minister Counselor for Cultural Affairs, Embassy of Greece
