Publishers Text

The Greek Mama's Kitchen is a celebration of the fascinating and diverse culinary traditions from different Greek communities as continued by families today. Using a technique of reportage and focusing on the mother of the household, we catch a glimpse of how the old and new worlds meet and marry. Rosemary Barron shares her favourite everyday recipes and those popular for special occasions as they have been passed down through the generations. She records the cooking skills as passed from her mother and grandmother and divulges the secrets that give dishes that memorable je ne sais quoi. The book takes the reader on a tour through the Greek Mama's kitchen, storecupboard ingredients, main courses such as beef stifado and pork with quince, all the way through to delicious sweets, such as Sweet-baked Fresh Figs. Festivals of the Greek calendar are also explored celebrating favourite recipes such as Easter Bread and New Year Cake.
