"My Greek Table", Ikaria, Greece
Could the local food be the secret to the Ikarian people’s fabled longevity? In her latest book, Ikaria: Lessons on Food, Life, and Longevity from the Greek Island Where People Forget to Die, acclaimed cookbook writer and Greek cuisine specialist Diane Kochilas investigates just that. A combination travelogue, photo journal, and cookbook, this tome reveals the intimate stories and traditional recipes of Ikaria, and takes readers on a journey to an island that celebrates life through the joy of the kitchen and the plate.
