That makes it the kind of food we love to eat now: unfussy, easy to prepare, and whose ingredients speak of the diverse influences of a cuisine poised between the exoticisms of Greece and Turkey, and the heartier notes of the Balkans. Paprika and cabbage rub shoulders with Mediterranean peppers, tomatoes, and feta; Ottoman baklava sits beside pear strudel and sesame cookies. This book has what it takes for creating a colorful, tasty table that will be popular with the whole family."--Carla Capalbo, author of Tasting Georgia: A Food and Wine Journey in the Caucasus"Katerina Nitsous Macedonia is a vibrant introduction to a Balkan culture and cuisine ...

Katerinas stories and recipes are an affectionate celebration of her Macedonian heritage, transporting you right to her family table, enjoying dishes that are respectful of tradition and yet accessible to everyone."--Irina Georgescu, author of Carpathia: Food from the Heart of Romania"Inviting and professional ...
