PEINÁO: A GREEK FEAST FOR ALL

HELENA & VIKKI MOURSELLAS, SMITH STREET BOOKS, $60

Greek food is a cuisine that seems made for sharing: the food of sunny islands and ocean breezes; of vineripened tomatoes that burst with flavour; seafood so fresh it glistens. Peináo translates as ‘I’m hungry’ in Greek, and you will be as you read! This is the food that Greek families feast on, that they gather round the table and share. I’m pretty sure the Greek salsa verde is my new summer condiment.
