Vefa's Kitchen

One should be thankful that Vefa’s Kitchen is not delivered like the newspaper, over the front wall for it would surely break down part of the verandah and land with a hell of a thud.

Vefa’s Kitchen is the bible of Greek food.  Greece regards itself as the mother of Mediterranean food, and is a great exporter of its dishes all over the world too.

What middle of the road family restaurant anywhere in the world does not have a “Greek Salad” on its menu?

Where does one find a supermarket without feta cheese, a Mom’s Recipe Book without a Moussaka recipe, a good bakery with a tray of Baklava pastries or Spinakopita, slow cooked lamb with yoghurt?

There are Greek communities all over the world who for the past thirty years and more have been using the recipes of Vefa Alexiadou to bring into their kitchens the flavour of the homeland.

This is a book you don’t want to drop on your toe, but one which you could happily use as a doorstop in your kitchen so it will be there and constantly make you pick it up when you are looking for something colourful, flavourful and exotic yet easy for supper.

And my goodness, not only do the photos look fabulous, the recipes are easy to prepare and just packed with flavour and reminders of that last holiday on the Greek Isles.
