Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spinach and mushroom penne with garlic and za’atar

    • genie28 on July 03, 2023

      I used store-bought za'tar which did contain some salt (2nd to last ingredient) so I modified the main recipe. Still way too much salt. The 2tsp added to the mushrooms before the spinach as written would have been indedible. Overall, the proportions seem off. I added more mushrooms and spinach and still felt like it was too much pasta to veg.

  • Stuffed peppers with turkey, quinoa, spinach, and mushrooms (Gemista)

    • julesamomof2 on March 23, 2022

      These were decent stuffed peppers, fairly healthy as long as using lower fat ground turkey. I changed up the order in which I added the ingredients just based on my estimation of how quickly they would be done in an American kitchen. I did not have the berbere spice mix (or really anything close to creating one) so I just added more cumin, chili powder and oregano and it seemed fine. Probably not a repeat just because they were nothing special and there are other recipes to try.

  • Chicken thighs with sliced ginger, honey, lime, and cilantro

      This was yummy and fast.

Publishers Text

Sea Salt and Honey is a delightful ode to the rustic lifestyle of Nicholas Tsakiris’ birthplace. Though America has been his adopted country for the last thirty years, he felt himself irresistibly drawn back to his homeland after his two daughters, Olivia and Chloe, were grown. Over the years, Olivia and Chloe too felt the desire to reconnect to their roots. The family now live almost full time on the Mani coast, in a little house nestled in the Taygetos foothills close to Kardamili—a charming village of roughly 450 residents, where a walk across town takes five minutes.

With the abundance of nature and boundless possibilities of ingredients around them, Nicholas, Olivia, and Chloe indulge in their favorite pastime—cooking delicious meals together while sharing family stories. They eventually began to grow their own food, working together to plant and harvest each season’s bounty in their garden. Like many Greeks, they eat seasonally, and most of the recipes they prepare are inspired by the food grown in their own backyard.
