It is primarily intended for those who wish to prepare meals they tasted in Cypriot restaurants and especially liked or for those who want to become acquainted with the best of Cypriot cuisine. In selecting the recipes we took two considerations into account. The dishes and sweets have been carefully chosen to contain ingredients that are available in supermarkets in most countries. The very few that might not be available can be found in Cypriot food shops anywhere. They are also relatively easy to make and do not require any particular skills or experience. We tried to include recipes for a wide range of dishes, grouping them into the following sections for convenience: starters, soups, rice - pasta, vegetables, dishes with minced meat, meats, savouries, sweets. We hope you will find pleasure in trying out the recipes and above all preparimg dishes you can enjoy with your family and friends.
