A mix of modern and traditional Greek recipes, all inspired by the quaint and picturesque island of Paxos. This cookbook will appeal to fans of Mediterranean cuisine as well as those inspired by Greek island life. On the sleepy and beautiful Ionian island of Paxos, the local people still follow the old ways. They cook from ancient recipes: simple dishes, handed down the generations until they seem to have become part of the collective unconscious in which good ingredients are allowed to speak for themselves. The food on this little island is special, because by happy accident of history and geography, Paxos is the place where Greek and Italian cuisines meet.
