Vefa's Kitchen by Vefa Alexiadou - 2009

No Dust Jacket Book: Condition. Very Good +. Blemish: The spine has vertical creases revealing that this cookbook's recipes were tried. But particular care was taken by the original owner to keep it in exceptional condition. No marks or entries. No page toning. The boards have no evidence of shelf rubs or any wear-and-tear. The spine/board junction is firm, the book lies flat, plumb, and square (photo). This heavy and sturdy book with the classic Grecian blue-color theme and 230 gorgeous photographs of the country's many attractions is both a visual and taste delight. Hailed as "the bible of authentic Greek cooking" and "the mother of Mediterranean cuisine," the publication has hundreds of traditional recipes collected from every region of this ancient country. Three cloth bookmarks for ready access to favorite recipes. The Table of Contents (photo) show how the recipes are divided into 21 categories (chapters). The author has collected Greek recipes for 30 years prior to this publication and has published dozens of best-selling cookbooks in Greece.
