Description
Greek food is often associated with meze and traditional taverna dishes, but there's much more to it than that. In "Gifts of the Gods: A History of Food in Greece", Andrew and Rachel Dalby take you on a journey through time to explore the rich history and culture behind Greek cuisine. From classical times to modern days, this book delves into the country's regional food identities and how they've been shaped by its diverse landscape. You'll discover how certain fruits, herbs, and vegetables became staples in local cuisines, and how Greek food has been exported around the world. The book also shines a light on one of Greece's most distinctive features: its renowned hospitality. With traditional recipes that blend historical and modern flavors, "Gifts of the Gods" is a mouth-watering account of ancient cuisine that will leave you wanting more.
