Mr B's review
Georgina Hayden has written the ultimate feel-good cookbook. Filled with love and sunshine, the recipes celebrate the diverse influences of her Greek-Cypriot heritage. She has captured the warmth of the sun-drenched Cyclades in her summery salads,herbs and breads; embraced the heartier meat dishes of the northern mainland and rejoiced in the syrups, fruits and cream of the many gorgeous desserts across the nation. Recipes are clearly written and the accompanying photography is stunning. A lovely addition to your bookshelf.
Mr B’s Recipe Suggestion: Bobota ( cheesy green chilli cornbread) with whipped feta dip and brown butter pine-nuts. Delicious served warm and perfect for sharing! – Sue

‘This book? It’s Greek. ish. And if you are saying ‘ish’ with a scrunched-up nose, a squinted eye and a slight wobble of the head or tilt of the hand, then you are on the right track. Truth be told, when it comes to writing recipes, sometimes hiding behind tradition actually makes life easier. You don’t like something? Take it up with my ancestors. But these Greekish dishes are all me and I think they’re some of the best I have written. I hope that you love them, that they become part of your repertoire and that over time you make them your own.’
Inspired by her Greek-Cypriot roots and Greek travels, Georgina has collected recipes that are easy, bursting with flavour and sure to be cooked on repeat. With fewer ingredients and less stress, the recipes include familiar Mediterranean classics, as well as plenty of Greek-influenced dishes with Georgina’s twists.
