Tastes like Greek Summer

Bringing together the warmth of Greek hospitality and the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean, Tastes Like Greek Summer is a culinary journey through the heart of Greece, one mezι, one feast and one seaside memory at a time. Award-winning author and food writer Tassos Antoniou divides his time between Athens and London and knows first-hand the challenge of recreating authentic Greek food abroad. In this cookbook, he offers thoughtful tips and mindful adaptations to help home cooks capture the essence of Greek cooking, wherever they may be. With more than 50 recipes—from crisp tomato fritters and smoky aubergine dip to slow-roasted lamb, syrup-soaked cakes and golden loukoumades— this book celebrates simple ingredients, generous tables and the quiet beauty of everyday rituals. Written for food lovers, travellers and anyone longing to bring Greece into their kitchen, this is more than a cookbook. It’s a keepsake of sun, sea, and shared stories. Let the flavours of Greece linger long after your holiday ends.
