Why read it?
1 author picked Orexi! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For starters, the photography in Orexi! is mouthwatering and the landscape and ocean shots make me want to hop on a plane to Greece.
Often in international cuisine cookbooks, you find predictable fare, but Michaels does a great job of putting his own spin on traditional dishes. I especially love his version of Kolifa, which he calls Salad for The Soul, and the Charred Chilli and Feta Dip for antipasto platters.
His homage to his grandmother in Yiayia’s Keftedes is touching and the meatballs are perfect for gatherings.
From Pamela's list on The best cookbooks for entertaining.
