🧵 2/Salt of the Earth/Caroline Dorit ⬆️

The book is divided into chapters that typify Greek cuisines: Olive, Grain, Hive, Seed and Vine. There is no getting away from it - this book is not an overwhelmingly vegetarian's delight, but the ratio of non-meat dishes is high enough to possibly warrant a place in the bookcase of very serious vegetarian lovers of Greek food. Oh those baked quinces!

There is a lot of information on recipes and ingredients, gorgeous pics and once in a while, a photo of the beautiful Greek country side.

The book is a little chef-y in appearance but in a good way, and home cooks should not be put off.

To more practical matters - the index looks good, with Greek names as well as English. The paper is fabulous for scribbling notes, although some pages have little space on them. It doesn't have a in-book bookmark, which is a real pity.
