My Greek Family Table  by Maria Benardis
In these 100 recipes, passed between the generations, you will find time-honoured classics such as moussaka and souvlakia, as well as modern adaptations of traditional dishes – spicy ouzo keftedes and filo pizza with lamb. Alongside are the intimate tales of family life: an aunt learning to make Greek Easter bread in war-ravaged Kalamata; a generation of relatives arriving to make a new home in Australia, their suitcases bulging with their beloved ingredients; the author as a child keeping a secret vegie garden on the island of Psara. Written with passion and beautifully photographed, My Greek Family Table is a personal invitation to experience all the depth and flavour of Greek food and the offering of food to those we love.

Greek Cooking from the Hellenic Heart  by George Calombaris
The Greek taverna is a place for quiet reflection and spirited discussion; a place for love or war; a place to feed the belly and the spirit. The taverna is the kitchen table of the village or the street - a place for family and friends to gather, a watering hole, debating hall, gambling den and cafe rolled into one. George Calombaris' Hellenic Republic restaurant captures that mood and combines it with a menu that champions the full breadth and myriad influences on peasant cuisine across the islands, territories and regions we call Greece. Here you'll find the fingerprints of Phoenicians, Florentines, Cypriots, Macedonians, Byzantines, Cretans, and Spartans. From breakfast rich in yoghurt and Cypriot sausage, move on to plates of Tzatziki

My Mother's Cooking  by Nora N. Katsourakis
Symi was a woman who was rumored to be like Circe, either a witch or a goddess. She was known and seen to have captured men and eaten them. But that was the past! Today, in Symi, women pass down the traditions of cooking with a keen sense for taste and visual presentation, but rarely using a recipe. Cooking was drilled by experience and the need to survive. Nora Katsourakis' family consisted of twelve brothers and sisters. In this book, Nora commemorates her mother and introduces the world to her island of Symi, and its female heritage, the daughters of the mothers who have nurtured a tradition with intense grace and good taste.
