Description

In Greece, everyone has a vasilopita (cake) at New Year. The wonderful thing about this cake is that a flouri (coin) is added before baking. If you're lucky enough to get the piece with the coin, you'll be blessed for the year. Don't you love that sense of celebration the Greeks have?"

No one captures the spirit and soul of a place quite like Tessa Kiros. Her bestselling cookbooks Twelve, Postcards from Portugal, and Venezia took her global audience of readers-keen cooks and armchair travellers alike-on magical journeys through Tuscany, Portugal, and Venice respectively. So who better than Greek-Cypriot Tessa to take you on a colourful journey into the Greek kitchens of her friends and family? Accompany her as she presents the traditional Hellenic foods for fasting, festivals, and feast days in her own enchanting way.

About the author

Tessa Kiros was born in London to a Finnish mother and a Greek-Cypriot father. The family moved to South Africa when she was four, and at the age of 18, Tessa set off to travel and learn all she could about the world's cultures and traditions, and new ways of living and eating. She has cooked at London's The Groucho Club and in Sydney, Athens, and Mexico. On a trip to Italy to study the language and food, she met her husband, Giovanni, and they now live in Tuscany with their two children.
