Book excerpt: Combined with a charming personal narrative and illustrated with spectacular photography, this fabulous cookbook will have you yearning for the Mediterranean and the incredible flavors of its cuisine The term "a la Grecque," meaning "in the Greek way," conveys perfectly the kind of food Pam and Kosta Talimanidis are famous for?stylish yet homely dishes that look to both sides of the Greek/Turkish divide for inspiration. Here, inspired by Kosta's Greek heritage and by the many years she spent in his home village of Polypetron learning about Greek food and cooking, Pam has gathered recipes that showcase the simplicity and incredible flavors of the cuisine. Clever and understated offerings include ribbons of silverbeet tossed in the pan with roasted walnuts and gorgonzola, and fillets of whiting simply dressed with olive oil, dill and lemon sauce, and a tangle of shaved fennel. There's proper taramasalata, salt cod croquettes and other mezze, plus delectable desserts like slow-roasted nectarines drizzled with mascarpone or rich chocolate tart. This is Greek food at its best.
