Fresh and contemporary are two of the words that come to mind after reading through >Modern Greek. At least, they come to mind once you have gotten over the gorgeous pictures that generously illustrate the book. The cookbook has 170 recipes that, while very Greek in flavor, are also very accessible to the average home cook, with fresh flavors that will appeal to just about anyone.
The book starts of with mezes (appetizers and dips) and includes recipes for salads, grains, meats and lots of pastries and baked goods. Some of the recipes are more modern, while others are more traditional, such as Spanakopita and Greek Salad. Figs Baked with Red Wine, Chicken with Yogurt and Spinach and Meat and Pasta Pie are a few of the othr selections. More recipes turn towards being rustic than being fussy, which adds a final level of appeal to this book; even a busy cook will be able to discover some new favorites and have time to make them.
