International scientific researchers have proved that Cretan cooking offers people good health and long life. It is based more on the consumption of plenty of olive oil, vegetables, wild greens, pulses and cereals and less on the consumption of meat. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it is lacking in taste. Cretan dishes send forth fine flavours and tastes which can still be felt in the villages of the island.
In this book you will find the main recipes which have been preserved on Crete for centuries, and which, together with the way of life, constitute what is called today "the miracle of the Cretan diet."
