Yas­sou cook­book offers a gate­way to fresh, nour­ish­ing, and effort­less­ly deli­cious meals that embody the warm, invit­ing fla­vors of the Mediter­ranean. The beau­ty of Greek cook­ing is that the less-is-more approach means that none of these recipes require fan­cy equip­ment or painstak­ing tech­nique. The key lies in seek­ing out the fresh­est sea­son­al pro­duce and let­ting the ingre­di­ents shine.

These are clas­sic home­made recipes, pre­pared authen­ti­cal­ly, just like you’d find in Greece. We begin with mezes, a sym­pho­ny of small savory dish­es that set the stage for joy­ful gath­er­ings. Next, delve into the world of savory pas­tries, where del­i­cate dough embraces the good­ness of cheeses, or veg­eta­bles become delec­table pat­ties and crispy fried balls. Dis­cov­er the art of stuffed veg­eta­bles, where a boun­ty of fresh pro­duce trans­forms into a com­fort­ing pot or pan of food. Com­ple­ment your meals with a chap­ter ded­i­cat­ed to soups and side dish­es brim­ming with veg­eta­bles, grains, and legumes. Indulge in fish pre­pared in var­i­ous styles, explore authen­tic chick­en and meat dish­es. And final­ly, indulge in a delight­ful selec­tion of sweets.
