Aphrodite's Food for the Gods: The Ultimate Greek Cookbook

Aprodite's Food for the Gods is a Greek cookbook which includes short stories and history about growing up "ethnic" near the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington where the author's grandfather founded the landmark Athenian Cafe.

When the ancient Greeks prepared a meal their gods were always invited - even expected - to sit down and share it with them. Beginning with this reverent approach, Greek recipes have been refined and adjusted to meet the requirements of the ages. Here are a collection of those recipes inspired by a Greek immigrant, Anthrony Pappadakis, who was fascinated and enthralled with America. In 1923, with his two borthers, he started the Athenian Cafe.... This cookbook reflects his enthusiasm for great taste, fun and accessibility to the best of Greek cooking.
