Following the success of her acclaimed Ikaria, Meni now invites readers to explore the rich and diverse culinary heritage of Thessaloniki and the Northern Greek region. This vibrant cookbook celebrates both traditional and modern dishes, shedding light on a region renowned for its unique food culture. Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city and a UNESCO-recognised epicenter of traditional culinary practices, is the heart of this culinary exploration. The city’s abundant natural resources, from fertile plains to mountainous enclaves, contribute to a diverse array of ingredients, including the renowned Greek elephant beans and stone fruits. Meni’s work not only uncovers these regional specialties but also weaves in the rich historical tapestry shaped by Sephardic Jews, Ottoman influences, and returning Greek émigrés, offering a new perspective on Northern Greek cuisine. With over 70 carefully curated recipes, Thessaloniki brings to life the complex flavors and traditions of the region’s food. Meni’s research and collaborations with local experts reveal the untold stories behind each dish, presenting an authentic taste of Northern Greece’s culinary legacy. Complemented by Stephanie Stamatis’s evocative photography, the book captures the essence of the region’s modest, homey kitchens and the slow food philosophy that defines its cuisine. Through these recipes and the vivid imagery, readers are invited to savor the unrecognised gems of Greek gastronomy and reconnect with the time-honoured traditions that make Thessaloniki’s food truly exceptional.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
