Sweet Greek Life: My Shared Table  is a beautiful selection of 116 traditional dishes updated for contemporary feasting, continuing the story of the cuisine Kathy Tsaples grew up with and her love affair with Greek food and culture.

Beautifully styled by Leesa O’Reilly and photographed by John Laurie, it is a stunning collection of recipes that will impress both home cooks and chefs alike.

A celebration of life, a cherished past and future promise, it’s a book to use, full of recipes that will quickly become a part of your readers repertoire too. Flavours are bold, ingredients are accessible and sweet and savoury dishes ranging from feta loukoumades with honey to wood-fired goat are stylishly interpreted with Tsaples’ characteristic modern approach. Classics receive stunning makeovers, Western favourites are given a Hellenic twist and all are easily achieved.

"Food for me is the essence of life and life shared with family and friends is beautiful. Food in general brings people together - it's part of the glue that binds society. Being Greek is about celebrating life with the ones we love. It's about spreading the table with delicious dishes bringing everyone together, feasting, laughing, drinking, listening to music, singing and dancing. Treasured moments to become lifelong treasured memories.
All the dishes, apart from being delicious are simple, pragmatic and achievable in your own kitchen. Everyone relates to food based on their own experiences and its these experiences that create treasured memories and is what life is all about. Happiness is where the heart is, and the heartbeat of my home is the kitchen."
