Mediterranean cuisine meets idyllic island life. <i>Roast Lamb in the Olive Groves</i> presents the quintessence of Mediterranean cooking: healthy, fresh ingredients used in delicious flavor combinations that are easy to prepare. Try your hand at real tzatziki and tasty dolmades; learn a fuss-free way to prepare grilled meats and seafood; cook up one of Belinda's warm pies on a cold winter night; and mix a glorious daiquiri for a warm summer evening with friends. Belinda's recipes are inspired by her time spent on the island of Paxos, a getway in the Mediterranean where by happy accident of history and geography, Greek and Italian cuisines meet. The robust, traditional flavors of Greek food are lifted with Italian style and panache, delivering a treasure trove of tastes. <i>Roast Lamb in the Olive Groves</i> shows how the ancient can be very modern indeed.
