Riassunto

Greek cuisine has a long history- the first ever cookbook was written by Ancient Greek poet Archestratos in 320 BC - and now Maria Elia brings the traditional flavours and ingredients of Greece into the 21st century with her thoroughly modern take on classic dishes. This is not a book for traditionalists, but adventurers ready to explore exciting new flavour combinations and discover what Greek cuisine has to offer. The 120 recipes are a product of a summer spent cooking and experimenting at her father's tavern in the Troodos mountains of Cyprus. From delicious vegetarian dishes such as Carrot Keftedes and Tomato and Runner Bean Baklava to Marinated Lamb with Feta Curd or Courgette-coated Calamari, and a tempting range of sweet dishes including Watermelon Mahalepi and Greek Yogurt and Apple Cake, Maria's inventive recipes will open your eyes to a whole new world of Greek cooking.

Recensione:

'Eating well feeds the soul. And without a doubt, with this book, Maria shows us the magic of cooking.'-- Ferran Adrià

'Maria draws on her Greek-Cypriot heritage to present a stunning collection of Mediterranean recipes with a modern twist. All the Greek flavours are here - lamb, oregano, fennel, dill and capers - but Maria updates those classics with her own special touch.'-- Sally Hughes, BBC Good Food

'Maria Elia[...]is both a very talented cook[...]and also a very nice person[...]A paean to her heritage, [...] it's a beautiful book, stuffed like a sausage with pictures you just want to lick.'-- Samuel Muston, The Independent

'I found several dishes that were arresting and successful in addition to those tomatoes stuffed with moussaka. Consider carrot keftedes, salmon cured with ouzo and lemon, feta wrapped in fig leaves and baked, croquettes of salt cod and taramosalata[...]In the title of the book, smashing refers to the celebratory Greek practice of breaking crockery, especially at weddings. But it also alludes to the English use of the word as an adjective meaning terrific.-- Florence Fabricant, The New York Times

'Internationally-renowned chef Maria Elia completely redefines Greek flavours in her stunning, delicious new book Smashing Plates. Anglo Greek Cypriot Maria, combines sensational flavours, colours and textures to create imaginative dishes in this beautiful collection of recipes. Filled with stunningly photographed and mouth-watering dishes[...]Smashing Plates is a stunning compendium of Maria's inventive recipes that will open the reader's eyes to a whole new world of Greek cooking.' ---- Parikiaki
