  Now reissued, A Kitchen in Corfu is an account of traditional life on a beautiful island, where produce grows abundantly - wild herbs, nuts and greenery in the hills; fish and shellfish in the sea; olive groves, grapevines and orchards. In Corfu, culinary influences from all over the Mediterranean have been absorbed and adapted to create a style of cooking unique in the world. This book presents a collection of 80 recipes, together with descriptions of people and places. The author details the customs surrounding the growing and preparation of food, and describes the daily round of friends and neighbours, capturing the authentic flavour of an hospitable and lively rural community.
