Taverna: From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author of Nistisima

Product Information

We made this dish as part of a Greek-inspired Easter buffet. The chops were not as flavorful as we had hoped, even with the salsa (which was good). My husband usually makes a simple marinade for his chops with lots of garlic, rosemary and olive oil that yields more flavor, so we won't repeat this recipe. This spectacular book is filled with comforting, delicious recipes and wonderful writing. Authentic and heart-filled, this masterpiece of a cookbook gives an insight into one of the oldest and greatest cuisines on the planet. It is unbelievably good served with some Ice Cream but perfectly good on it's own too. Tips/Notes to make the best Portokalopita

Taverna: Recipes From a Cypriot Kitchen | By Georgina Hayden

To say I was over the moon is an understatement. I cried full on fat tears! Not only is Delicious consistently the best food publication out there, my personal history there makes it such a special place to me. I felt I had gone full circle and could not believe I had this opportunity.Make the syrup by boiling the orange juice, cinnamon, sugar and water for 10 minutes and then leaving to cool. Put a small frying pan on to a medium heat and drizzle with a little oil. Fry the capers for a few minutes, until golden and crisp. Spoon on to kitchen paper to drain a little.

Add the spring onions and mint to the mixing bowl of aubergine. Add the lemon zest, season well, then mix in the egg, self-raising flour and baking powder.

If you have already submitted another request to index a book or magazine yourself, please do not make any additional requests until you have indexed and submitted that book or magazine. Put a medium-sized pan on a low-medium heat, pour in the oil, then add the garlic, chillies and parsley stalks. Shred the filo really well. More so then is seen in the pics above. That was my first attempt and trust me shredding the filo as much as possible, makes for an even more delicious cake.

How to Make… Taverna Recipes - Georgina Hayden

What I thought: Georgie’s family recipe is a triumphant twist on the traditional lamb Moussaka. Instead you cook it with a mix of beef and pork mince. Rather than fry aubergine and potatoes, you brush them with oil and roast them. She reassures that it’s fine to use Pecorino rather than the Greek cheese, if you need to. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the garlic to a mixing bowl, add the tahini, a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and a little of the yoghurt, then mix until smooth. Whisk in the rest of the yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice, and season to taste. Who’s the author?

It is a culinary masterpiece that beautifully evokes the country’s rich heritage” ( Olia Hercules) Tavernabrings a joyful, sun-splashed touch of the Mediterranean to your kitchen” ( Culture Whisper) As I started penning down my own experiences and recipes, I want to delve further. So I reached out to priests, monks, religious friends, peers… The stories and messages I have received have been so inspiring. I started in Greece and Cyprus and looked at other countries with a big Orthodox following such as Serbia, Syria, Ukraine, Lebanon and more. The introduction goes into the ‘whys and hows’ of Orthodox fasting but it is factual, interesting and contextual. The recipes are for everyone. Put the dill in a small mixing bowl with the mustard and the juice of one and a half of the lemons. Whisk in four tablespoons of oil and season generously. Taste and add extra lemon juice, if you like. It needs to be punchy, so that when it coats the veg, it stands out.
