 Delicious! Perfect for vegetarians who love Greek food., 1998-12-07

Being a vegetarian in Greece, or in most Greek restaurants in America, is no easy task. One can eat stuffed tomatoes only so many times! Fortunately, even Greek dishes with meat are usually chock full of veggies, so the conversion to meatless is nicely accomplished by the author of this book. You'll find all the wonderful classics, like pastitsio and souvlaki, as well as many less well-known dishes, all meatless. I also like Ms. Kochilas' healthy attitude that tabulating every last calorie and fat gram in a recipe is silly - just prepare it in all its glory and eat a reasonable portion, and you'll be fine. (You'll realize the wisdom of this if you're ever in Greece, where you'll notice how trim everyone is, despite their habit of eating all sorts of foods swimming in olive oil.) The recipes here are authentic and deliciously satisfying. Oh, and the photos make my mouth water!
