We've enjoyed a number of recipes from the book "Modern Greek" by Andy Harris. The photos are nothing short of inspiring, and we've found the recipes to be well tested and easy to follow.
The people of Greece share a passion for food and drink that dates back to ancient times, and that passion is reflected in their rich culinary traditions. The simple, well-seasoned preparation of quality fresh ingredients truly defines Greek cuisine.
The spicy foods of Hungary, often referred to as Magyar cuisine, are the results of centuries of Turkish, German and Austrian influences. As a nomadic civilization, the Hungarians developed unique ways of cooking livestock (a prominent feature of Magyar cuisine) over a fire in cauldrons.
One of the most beloved ethnic cuisines in America and around the world, Italian cuisine is also one of the richest and most complex. Italian cuisine is geographically diverse; the dishes of each region are all unique in terms of ingredients, cooking methods and complexity.
Seasonal ingredients, traditional cooking techniques and unique eating etiquette all contribute to the diverse dishes characteristic of Japanese cuisine. As an island nation, Japan has developed its own original cuisine, but one can see influences from Portugal, China, and even the United States in some modern Japanese dishes.
Mexico is a country steeped in ancient tradition and Spanish colonial culture. Intense and exotic flavors, colorful garnish and myriad herbs and spices add to the tantalizing tastes and textures common in Mexican dishes. In fact, some gourmands will argue that Mexican cuisine is the second most diverse and expansive in the world, following Chinese. Modern Mexican cuisine takes its cues from the ancient dishes of the Aztecs, Mayans and Spanish conquistadores.
Who doesn't like chocolate? Or wine? Or better yet, both? Wine and chocolate can be the ultimate pairing, but selecting just the right combination can be a bit of a challenge.
