    A delicious and entertaining collection of Greek recipes by Anne McClarence

    "Hello my name is Anne McClarence and I love Greece, I love Greek people, Greek Weather, the Greek way of life, the Greek Language and most of all Greek Food. I love to eat Greek food and even try to cook some of the dishes I eat on holiday. I ask for recipes in the tavernas, cafes and restaurants and even from my poor, long suffering Greek Language teacher..."

    On the menu, so far: Melitzanosalata

    Very fresh project. Contributions wanted!!!
