Review of Eating the Greek Way: More Than 100 Fresh and Delicious Recipes from Some of the Healthiest People in the World (Hardcover)

This has become one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. Literally every recipe I've tried has been an instant hit with my family. I like that there's loads of flavor (and not all the same old stuff) in everything, and there's also a section about how to eat a health-supporting Greek-inspired diet. (The author is a doctor from/in Greece.) All of the ingredients are readily available. The only alteration I've made (to some recipes) is to cut down on the healthy oils a bit -- while olive oil is yummy and good for you, I'd rather cut back a bit on how much oil I add to a dish. I have also found that many of these dishes keep well for leftovers, the recipes make good (big) amounts, and there is a nice emphasis on fresh ingredients. Nothing is complicated, but it always comes out looking and tasting really impressive. Highly Recommended!
