Beyond the Greek Salad by Ruth Bardis

This book explores Foods Beyond the Greek Salad and is a follow-up from Ruth's Gourmand Awards Best in the World title, Hellenic Kanella: Memories Made in a Greek Kitchen. Offering over 90 recipes (half gluten-free), Ruth has documented recipes that enlarge one's culinary horizon to what Greeks consume throughout the country and, more specifically, to each region. The book has simple recipes to prepare heart-healthy with the overabundance of extra-virgin olive oil, herbs, vegetables, seafood, and fruits.Comprising eight chapters, the book is divided by region, and each region begins with a synopsis of the region's produce, with its history and prominent recipes to accompany that. Ruth has captured and photographed Greece uniquely, making this book a treasure to cook from and have on one's coffee table.

I was born in Australia to Greek parents. Passionate about traditional Greek cuisine, I set off to learn extensively about my heritage, travelling countless times to Greece and revisiting my origins. My strong ethnic heritage and love of nourishing food facilitated my switch from fashion designing to cooking, photography, and writing. With the addition of these skills I was inspired to write, photograph and document stories around the family table. Greek food, from a Greek heart!
