Download or read book The Glorious Foods of Greece written by Diane Kochilas and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on with total page 1394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glorious Foods of Greece is the magnum opus of Greek cuisine, the first book that takes the reader on a long and fascinating journey beyond the familiar Greece of blue-and-white postcard images and ubiquitous grilled fish and moussaka into the country's many different regions, where local customs and foodways have remaained intact for eons. The journey is both personal and inviting. Diane Kochilas spent nearly a decade crisscrossing Greece's Pristine mountains, mainland, and islands, visiting cooks, bakers, farmers, shepherds, fishermen, artisan producers of cheeses, charcuterie, olives, olive oil, and more, in order to document the country's formidable culinary traditions. The result is a paean to the hitherto uncharted glories of local Greek cooking and regional lore that takes you from mountain villages to urban tables to seaside tavernas and island gardens. In beautiful prose and with more than four hundred unusual recipes -- many of them never before recorded --invites us to a Greece few visitors ever get to see. Along the way she serves up feast after feast of food, history, and culture from a land where the three have been intertwined since time immemorial. In an informed introduction, she sets the historic framework of the cuisine, so that we clearly see the differences among the earthy mountain cookery, the sparse, ingenious island table, and the sophisticated aromaticcooking traditions of the Greeks in diaspora. In each chapter she takes stock of the local pantry and cooking customs. From the olive-laden Peloponnesos, she brings us such unusual dishes as One-Pot Chicken Simmered with Artichokes and served with Tomato-Egg-Lemon Sauce and Vine Leaves Stuffed with Salt Cod. From the Venetian-influenced Ionian islands, she offers up such delights asPastry-Cloaked Pasta from Corfu filled with cheese and charcuterie and delicious Bread Pudding from Ithaca with zabaglione. Her mainland recipes, as well as those that hail from Greece's impenetrable northwestern mountains, offer an enticing array of dozens of delicious savory pies, unusual greens dishes, and succulent meat preparations such as Lamb with Garlic and Cheese Baked in Paper. In Macedonia she documents the complex, perfumed, urbane cuisine that defines that region. In the Aegean islands, she serves up a wonderful repertory of exotic yet simple foods, reminding us how accessible -- and healthful -- is the Greek fegional table. The result is a cookbook unlike any other that has ever been written on Greek cuisine, one that brims with the author's love and knowledge of her subject, a tribute to the vibrant, multifaceted continuum of Greek cooking, both highly informed and ever inviting. The Glorious Foods of Greece is an important work, one that contributes generously to the culinary literature and is sure to become the definitive book of Greek cuisine and culture for future generations of food lovers -- Greek and non-Greek alike.

Download or read book The Syriac Chronicle of Michael Rabo the Great a Universal History from the Creation written by Michael I (the Syrian, Patriarch of Antioch) and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chronicle of Michael Rabo is perhaps the only voluminous Syriac manuscript surviving from the twelfth century, and is offered here for the first time in the English language. Michael Rabo was a Patriarch of the Syrian Orthodox Church from 1166 to 1199 and in his Chronicle, he systematically arranged and compiled Greek, Syriac, Armenian and Arabic historical sources encompassing events from the creation of the world to his own time. From this spectacular array of sources, the reader is offered deep insight into the history of the many issues and conflicts -- political, geographical and theological -- that prevailed throughout the Middle East and surrounding regions. Of special historical note is the warfare between the Byzantine Roman and Sassanid Persian Empires, the factious contentions within the Syrian Orthodox Church which led to its split after the Council of Chalcedon, and the rise of the Muslim Arabs and their influence on the region. In the last chapter, Michael Rabo as an eyewitness describes the arrival of the Crusaders to the East and their warfare with the Turks over the domination of Antioch, Edessa and Jerusalem. Of particular importance is Michael Rabo?s portrayal of the treatment of the native Christian Syrians and Armenians who were caught amidst the struggle between the Crusaders, Muslim Arabs and Turks. Also, a peculiar feature of Michael?s Chronicle is the numerous accounts of strange natural phenomena of celestial objects, earthquakes, famine and plagues which devastated many cities and places in the East Roman Empire. With its extensive range of historical epochs and events, The Chronicle of Michael Rabo should be of great interest to church historians, theologians and to historians of the Byzantine and Persian Empires, as well as social scientists and those interested in historical astronomy and meteorology.
