A wonderful find!
For those who think vegetarian equals deprivation, they need only
pick up this book to find that meat is not always necessary for
rich, delicious meals. Many of the recipes require only a few
ingredients, and none are difficult to prepare, so this is
excellent for those just beginning to cook or interested in trying
out a meatless diet. Most definitely worth adding to any cookbook
collection. --- A reader from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , 13

Delicious! Perfect for vegetarians who love Greek food.
Being a vegetarian in Greece, or in most Greek restaurants in
America, is no easy task. One can eat stuffed tomatoes only so
many times! Fortunately, even Greek dishes with meat are usually
chock full of veggies, so the conversion to meatless is nicely
accomplished by the author of this book. You'll find all the
wonderful classics, like pastitsio and souvlaki, as well as many
less well-known dishes, all meatless. I also like Ms. Kochilas'
healthy attitude that tabulating every last calorie and fat gram
in a recipe is silly - just prepare it in all its glory and eat a
reasonable portion, and you'll be fine. (You'll realize the wisdom
of this if you're ever in Greece, where you'll notice how trim
everyone is, despite their habit of eating all sorts of foods
swimming in olive oil.) The recipes here are authentic and
deliciously satisfying. Oh, and the photos make my mouth water!
