‘Sunshine on a plate’ Tom Kerridge

‘This book? It’s Greek. ish. And if you are saying ‘ish’ with a scrunched-up nose, a squinted eye and a slight wobble of the head or tilt of the hand, then you are on the right track. Truth be told, when it comes to writing recipes, sometimes hiding behind tradition actually makes life easier. You don’t like something? Take it up with my ancestors. But these Greekish dishes are all me and I think they’re some of the best I have written. I hope that you love them, that they become part of your repertoire and that over time you make them your own.’

Inspired by her Greek-Cypriot roots and Greek travels, Georgina has collected recipes that are easy, bursting with flavour and sure to be cooked on repeat.
