{"product_id":"books-food-and-cooking-of-greece-by-rena-salaman","title":"Food and Cooking of Greece","description":"Greek meals, whether enjoyed at home, in a taverna or in a restaurant, are a joyful celebration of local ingredients, history and culinary tradition that spans generations of ingenious cooks. Islanders rejoice at the prospect of all those shining courgettes and regal purple aubergines; the green beans of all kinds; the okra; the fat, sweet tomatoes; and the light-green long peppers that are indispensable for that Pelion speciality, spetzofai. Greek cuisine is centred around vegetables and other simple, fresh ingredients - and quality produce is at its heart. This shared gastronomic culture explains the emotional significance of Greek food for Greeks. In Rena's words, We have all eaten the same food; our mothers and grandmothers all cooked the same food. And now, probably, we cook the same food  This glorious new book, an updated and expanded edition of her best-selling original, explores the classic regional dishes of Greece and the islands through the changing seasons.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673196323089,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780754835455.jpg?v=1781523974","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-food-and-cooking-of-greece-by-rena-salaman","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
