Book Description
Here are the dishes your mother used to make, from the cookbook your grandmother brought over from the old country. Crown's Classic Cookbook series features a collection of the world's best-loved foreign cookbooks, specially adapted for use in American kitchens. Authentic and comprehensive, these reasonably priced books are a welcome addition to the culinary library of any cook.
Jewish Cookery by Leah H. Leonard
The classic book on Jewish cuisine, featuring traditional recipes for gefulte fish, kreplach, knishes, challah, and kugel, as well as guidelines for keeping a kosher kitchen and menus for holiday meals.
The Finnish Cookbook by Beatrice A. Ojakangas
The first cookbook devoted to introducing Finland's fascinating but little known cuisine to America. Including recipes for Sour Rye Bread, Fish in a Crust, Finnish Smorgasbord, and Bishop's Pepper Cookies.
German Cookery by Elizabeth Schuler
Germany's best-selling cookbook adapted for American kitchens. Containing recipes for all the German favorites such as Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Spatzle, and Apple Strudel.
The Greek Cookbook is a translation and adaptation of Greece's best-selling cookbook, containing 500 of its choicest recipes. Yet all of these -- many of them exotic by American standards -- use American measurements and can be easily prepared from ingredients readily available to the American cook.
Phyllo, that versatile pastry used as the basis for many Greek entrees and appetizers as well as desserts, appears here in many delectable forms. Try the baklava with honey syrup, or Copenhagen (the pastry named for the Greek king who was originally a Danish prince).
You'll find excellent recipes too for the famed Greek dolmathes (rolled grape leaves) and yemista (stuffed vegetable preparations such as stuffed artichokes ). You might prefer to sample a baked specialty like moussaka or one of the au gratins made with lamb, eggplant, or squash.
Having visitors? Welcome them as the Greeks do, with a choice of glykos or spoon sweets -- perhaps eggplant, or rose petal, or apricot. For a cocktail party, serve any of the marvelous canapes or hot hors d'oeuvres like taramosalata (pureed roe salad) and piroski (dumplings). And formal entertaining takes on a new exotic twist when you serve lamb on a spit or an octopus main course.
The Greek Cookbook also includes a glossary explaining all Greek culinary terms as well as examples of typical Greek menus. For the experienced cook who wants to prepare an authentic Greek banquet or the novice who wants to spice up an ordinary meal with a Greek specialty, The Greek Cookbook is indispensable.

Greek cooking made easy,
By
This review is from: The Greek Cookbook: The Crown Classic Cookbook Series (Hardcover)
Sophia Skoura's Greek Cook Book contains many of the staples of Greek cuisine in an easy, simple to follow format. The recipes are authentic and those I have prepared from the book are delicious, especially the eggplants imam baldi (eggplants stuffed with tomato, onion and garlic and slowly roasted while slatered in olive oil). A drawback for non-Greeks is the lack of recipes for tzatziki (yogurt-garlic sauce) and a typical Greek marinade for grilled fish and meats. However, no cookbook I own in Greek contains them either. I suppose most Greeks know how to prepare these things just from watching their mothers, and Skoura's book was originally written in Greek for use in Greek households. But since this book is an adaptation, even the very basics might have made a welcome addition. Overall, it is an excellent reference guide on the how-tos of Greek cooking, with a straightforward presentation and chock-full of delicious recipes.

Recipes in this book were just like my Mom made. It is truly Greek cooking as it was taught to my Mom from her Mom.

The best Greek cookbook!,
By Sofia A - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Greek Cookbook: The Crown Classic Cookbook Series (Hardcover)
I am a first generation Greek American. As a small child I remember my mother using a cookbook by Sophia Skoura which was written entirely in Greek. When I found this book translated into English I was thrilled!!! I've owned it for 13 years and have used it so much that it's worn out. I'm purchasing another today and buying an extra copy for my daughter to have when she grows up. I can't say enough good things about this book. It's has very traditional recipes that are easy to follow. You won't be disappointed!
