Finally, yet another remarkable book on the use of cheese in cooking. Greek housewives need a book about cheese, as it is a food we love very much. We have a genetic relationship with it. Don't forget that Greece is the country where cheese was first presented 3,500 years ago.

So far, I have counted about 85 different cheeses with purely Greek origin, each one better than the other, and I always seek out whatever is new during my travels. Alexandros Papandreou knows the subject of cheese very well. We share a long-lasting friendship and often exchange ideas and opinions about cooking and nutrition in general.

I carefully flipped through his book before it was even published, and I liked it very much. So you will find on the following pages recipes with soft and hard cheeses, recipes that are rich as well as simple, recipes that fit into our daily lives. It is a book that you will never put on the shelf; you will always have it in your kitchen.

Take advantage of Alexandros's experience and knowledge and start your cheese cooking adventures. I hope this little book travels across Greece and the whole world.
