With plenty of brio and much humor, this book relates the memories of a Greek post-graduate student in America during the dark days of the Junta in Greece, as well as his life in his home country after his return, up to the present.
Describing hilarious moments from his life and those of his friends, he peppers his account with many succulent recipes, since our protagonist has an obsession with cooking and insists, at all cost, to share his recipes with his readers.
It is a delightful read that keeps a smile on your face from beginning to end.
Reading this is the best medicine to dispel, if only for a few moments, the gloom and doom of the times we live in.
