Synopsis

Dimitris and Damocles live in the same block of flats. They share a love of cooking, and, it soon transpires, a lover - Nana. What follows is the story of their competition to win Nana's heart through her appetite. As the plates pile up, and the recipes grow ever more mouth watering, a bizarre and comic duel develops, fought with sea-urchin salads, stuffed vine leaves and delicacies from all corners of the Aegean to win the consummate femme fatale or to end up with the sting in the tail...

Media Reviews
Delightfully written * Canberra Times *
This is the most delicious book that you will ever read * The Times *
A curvaceous little tale of a pair of suitors, Dimitris and Damocles, who vie for the favours of their mutual mistress through the medium of the mezze... Call it culinary onanism for Greek gastronomes. And, incidentally, the recipes are terrific -- Elizabeth Luard * Good Book Guide *
If you are even just a tiny bit of a gourmand, and have a mischievous streak, surrender yourself to Andreas Staikos' amusing novel... the language is beautiful and lively, the love affair passionate and the recipes appetising * L'Humanite *
