Book Description
What do we think about when we think about Greek food? For many, it is the meze and the traditional plates of a Greek island taverna at the height of summer. In Gifts of the Gods, Andrew and Rachel Dalby take us into and beyond the taverna in our minds to offer us a unique and comprehensive history of the foods of Greece. Greek food is brimming with thousands of years of history, lore, and culture. The country has one of the most varied landscapes of Europe, where steep mountains, low-lying plains, rocky islands, and crystal-blue seas jostle one another and produce food and wine of immense quality and distinctive taste. The book discusses how the land was settled, what was grown in different regions, and how certain fruits, herbs, and vegetables became a part of local cuisines. Moving through history—from classical to modern—the book explores the country’s regional food identities as well as the export of Greek food to communities all over the world. The book culminates with a look at one of the most distinctive features of Greece’s food tradition—the country’s world renown hospitality. Illustrated throughout and featuring traditional recipes that blend historical and modern flavors, Gifts of the Gods is a mouth-watering account of a rich and ancient cuisine.

Book Description
The Country Cooking of Greece captures all the glory and diversity of Greek cuisine in one magnum opus from Greece's greatest culinary authority, Diane Kochilas. More than 250 recipes were drawn from every corner of Greece, from rustic tavernas, Kochilas' renowned cooking school, and the local artisans and village cooperatives that produce olive oil and handmade pasta. More than 150 color photographs and vivid sidebars bring to life Greece's unique and historical food culture. Seventeen chapters organized by ingredients such as lamb, herbs, artichokes, and cheese touch down all over Greece's dramatic geography of mountains, coastal lands, and fertile alluvial plains. A cookbook like no other, this ingredient-driven volume at once meets a growing interest in Greek cooking and serves as a homecoming for all those of Greek descent.

Book Description
Excerpt from How Greece Can Produce More Food A wise Christian statesman once said that a nation should keep its promises and preserve its honor, even tho it perish in the effort. He was a practical statesman as well as an idealist; for it was he who first suggested that the American Red Cross Commission to Greece should undertake, along with its program of emergency relief, an agricultural program, with a view to increasing the food production of the country and thus permanently benefiting the entire population. An Agricultural Department was accordingly made a part of the Commission, and an American scientist who had won world-wide dis tinction for his practical success in applying to the problem of food production the results of his investigation of the soil, was secured as head of this Department. Major Hopkins has traveled extensively in Greece, has had analyses made of the soils of various regions, and has conducted experiments whose purpose is to enable the farmer to pro duce larger crops as the reward of his labors. This report of the Department presents the simple truth regarding the conditions which now exist in Greece, and recommends some practical scientific methods for greatly improving these conditions. It is designed to serve Greece and her people, and this result will be attained if the recommendations are put into practice. This booklet is presented not only to farmers and landowners, but also to merchants, bankers, teachers, and statesmen; for it is only by the intelligent efforts and influence of all that food production can be largely and permanently increased.
