Cypriot Recipes and Cookbooks


Cyprus has a long association with Greece, and the majority of Cypriots not only speak Greek, but are ethnically Greek, and share a common culture with Greece.

As you might therefore expect, Cypriot cuisine has much in common Greek cuisine, although it also has unique features of its own. Freshness is very important in Cypriot food - and the cuisine also shows influences from Turkey, and further afield, reflecting the island's unique positon at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

One particular food that is indigenous to Cyprus is halloumi. Halloumi is a cheese with salty flavor, similar in texture to mozzarella, traditionally made using a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, although nowadays cow's milk is sometimes used as well, especially when producing halloumi in industrial production. Halloumi is often garnished with mint, and is frequented fried or grilled. Perhaps the most popular Cypriot dish with halloumi is halloumi and lounza which is simply halloumi grilled with either a slice of smoked pork or a lamb sausage.

Product Description:
By the time she was a teenager, Sara Jenkins had lived all over the
Mediterranean. Learning at the elbows of grandmothers and chefs
from Tuscany to Beirut, she gained an easy familiarity with the region's
cuisines and their principles. In Olives and Oranges, this accomplished
cook, who is "inspired by tradition but never limited by it" (New York
Times), shows how an understanding of flavor can produce great dishes
from even the most humble ingredients. The recipes are startlingly simple,
but each one has a unique touch.

~ Roasted Red Peppers with Celery Leaves and Garlic

~ Pear, Basil, and Pecorino Salad

~ Bacon- and Herb-Rubbed Salt-Baked Chicken

~ Spicy Lemon Chocolate Ganache Torte

Flavor notes throughout the book explain the effect of techniques or
ingredient combinations on flavor so cooks can follow their own instincts
and create memorable dishes.
