An enchanting celebration of Greek provincial life-its charming
culture and sublime food-captured in 100 delectable recipes and
captivating stories from the Greek-American Tsakiris family,
accompanied by more than 100 visually stunning full-color
photographs by James Beard award-winning photographer Romas Foord.
Sea Salt and Honey is a delightful ode to the rustic lifestyle of
Nicholas Tsakiris' birthplace. Though America has been his adopted
country for the last thirty years, he felt himself irresistibly
drawn back to his homeland after his two daughters, Olivia and
Chloe, were grown. Over the years, Olivia and Chloe too felt the
desire to reconnect to their roots. The family now live almost full
time on the Mani coast, in a little house nestled in the Taygetos
foothills close to Kardamili-a charming village of roughly 450
residents, where a walk across town takes five minutes. With the
abundance of nature and boundless possibilities of ingredients
around them, Nicholas, Olivia, and Chloe indulge in their favorite
pastime-cooking delicious meals together while sharing family
stories. They eventually began to grow their own food, working
together to plant and harvest each season's bounty in their garden.
Like many Greeks, they eat seasonally, and most of the recipes they
prepare are inspired by the food grown in their own backyard. In an
age when retaining your roots, mindful eating, and work-life
balance are becoming increasingly rare, Sea Salt and Honey is a
reminder of the importance of tradition and a celebration of
personal history that combines delicious, healthy recipes with a
call to a simpler way of life. Nicholas, Olivia, and Chloe invite
you to take a seat at their table, to enjoy the scenic vista of the
Taygetos mountain range and the Messinian gulf, as you indulge in
hearty, wholesome, and easy-to-make dishes such as: Smoked Trout
and Wilted Lettuce Garden Salad Savory Greek Yogurt Bowls Winter
Garden Pasta with Purple Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Sage, and
Dried Chiles Grilled Octopus Marinated in Red Wine Vinegar, Honey,
and Oregano Lamb Slow-Cooked in the Gastra (Clay Pot) Sea Salt and
Honey Chocolate Chunk Cookies James Beard award-winning
photographer Romas Ford's incredible images capture the sense of
community and Greek culture that infuse and inspire these dishes.
Filled with stories, adventures, memories, and beautiful
photographs, Sea Salt and Honey pays tribute to authentic and
Greek-inspired cuisine, and is a culinary celebration of a place
where the love of the land, of nature, and of a simple but rich
life makes you feel at home.
