History health and HappinessBy Andrew JacovouAs a Cypriot Australian living in Australia, I struggled for years to find Traditional village recipes that were lost with my Grandmother. This seems to be the plite of Cypriots and Greeks worldwide.Ivy recognised this need and set about over many years compiling a Recipe book unlike ive seen from Greece or Cyprus.On most recipes you receive a small history lesson on the meal, before a comprehensive list of ingredients and very simplistic directions. Ivy had pictures and easy to follow steps with pictures most of the time to keep you on track.I Love my cooking but consider myself a dud baker with a bad oven and yet i succeeded in making some amazing dishes with Ivy's helping hand.Ivy has her own website Kopiaste.org where she helps us out with anything we may get stuck on.the Book is beautifully written, the pictures are clear and the writing is easy to read while racing around the kitchen!I recommend this book to anybody looking to to explore an amazing diverse culture through its 10,000 years of cooking history, or those looking to step back into Yayyas Kitchen again.Kali Orexi0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Mint, Cinnamon Blossom Water, Flavours of CyprusBy EllenbcookeryThis book is worth every cent I paid. took a little longer than originally promised to deliver it "Mint, Cinnamon Blossom Water" Flavours of Cyprus, Kopiaste!: Family Recipes to my house in Canada, but it was well worth the wait. Ivy is a very talented woman in the kitchen. She makes so many traditional dishes from both Cyprus and Greece. I love the added notes at the beginning of the book where she explains the culture of Cypriot cuisine and how it evolves around food. This is more than just an amazing cookbook.My daughters and I love Ivy's blog called Kopiaste, so when the book arrived, we were so excited. It was like Christmas in our house! In fact, one of my daughters took the book to her room in the evening to review before going to bed. I LOVE THIS BOOK!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I want one for myself!By K. FreemantleI bought this as a birthday present for my daughter, who is half Greek-Cypriot. We both love Cyprus (we live in England) and this book is perfect for giving clear instructions on cooking authentic Cypriot cuisine. Greek cookery books abound, (and we have a few!) but this is something quite different. The illustrations are good, and the narrative which goes with each recipe gives an extra dimension.When I found the book, quite by accident while Googling for Cypriot recipes, it was only available in America, but it has been well worth the extra cost of getting it across the pond. Now I want one for myself, but I'm hoping that it will be available in England before too long. I daren't ask to borrow my daughter's!Highly recommended for anyone who loves Cypriot cuisine - you won't want to stop cooking! This e-cookbook is based on the cookbook in print under the same tile but now expanded with a collection of over 260 of the best traditional Greek-Cypriot recipes and is divided in two Volumes. In Volume 1 you will find all the savory Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Mezedes Salads and in Volume 2 you will find Breads, Pites (pies), snacks, almyra (savory pastries), traditional and modern Desserts, Glyka tou koutaliou (fruit preserves), marmelades (jams), drinks, etc.Cypriot cuisine is shaped by the island's Mediterranean climate, geography, and history. The majority of its recipes are based on Greek cuisine and the Mediterranean Diet, which is one of the healthiest in the world, using fresh, wholesome ingredients.Cyprusrsquo;s strategic location in the Eastern Mediterranean, situated between the crossroads of three continents, had brought to the island many conquerors and thus its cuisine has evolved into an amalgamation of diverse tastes and textures, with an unmistakable mark that makes it undeniably Cypriot.The old traditional recipes have been revised and updated with a fresh, modern new look, a brief history of the recipe, clear instructions, useful tips and a mouth-watering picture for each recipe and step-by-step instructions with pictures, where necessary. Mediterranean food is delicious, easy, inexpensive and, of course, healthy. Cypriots are Orthodox and almost half of the year is fasting period, so a lot of the recipes are nistisima (vegan). In the cookbook you will find a lot of recipes, which reflect on the simplicity of the Mediterranean style of eating, ranging from the classic makaronia tou fourniou (pastitsio) and moussakas, sheftalia (crepinettes), ravioles (filled pasta), koupepia (dolmades), athoi gemistoi (stuffed courgette flowers), bourekia (turnovers), flaounes (cheese bread), kolokotes (pumpkin turnovers), daktyla (ladies fingers), loukoumia (delights), mahalepi (corn flour pudding), to more complicated recipes such as bombari (meat and rice sausages), zalatina (aspic), pastitsia (almond cookies), shiamishi (cream filled pastry), loukoumia tou gamou (wedding cakes) and more.The author has included a small sample of her own recipes, always based on the traditional principles of the Mediterranean diet, such as louvanosalata, a dip with yellow split peas, galeos marinatos (marinated tope fish), vegetable millefeuilles, moussakas and pastitsio nistimo (vegan), sykotakia me lahanika (chicken giblets with vegetables), caramelized spiced dry fruit in wine etc.The cookbook is not only addressed to the lovers of Greek food in general but is also a handbook to all the Greeks of "diaspora" who will not only get back to the simple hearty fare of their childhood by recreating the recipes of their ancestors but will also come closer to their culture and heritage.The recipes are written both in the U.S. and the metric system and substitutes are given for any local ingredients used. About the AuthorIvy Liacopoulou was born in Limassol, Cyprus. She worked in the Airline industry for many years and later on opened a bookstore, which she run for several years. After early retirement in 2007, she created her blog "Kopiaste" and decided to record the traditional recipes of her country, as a heritage to her children. The author is an experienced home cook, being married for many years. She worked in a family restaurant in Cyprus, as an Assistant chef and now is a culinary instructor, in Nafplion, Peloponnese, Greece, where she lives. Ivy belongs to a new generation of home cooks who loves to experiment and create new recipes of her own. Her creativeness and passion for cooking are depicted in her blog, ldquo;Kopiasterdquo;. For those who do not know Greek, ldquo;kopiasterdquo; is an expression often used in Cyprus and is a polite way of inviting somebody to come inside. It literally means ldquo;make an effort tordquo; but it is also synonymous to ldquo;welcomerdquo;. In Cyprus, we say ldquo;kopiasterdquo; when we want to invite someone in our house, to share our food with others or when we open our house to friends and invite them to come and make themselves at home. So, in her way Ivy is inviting you into her virtual kitchen to share with you her recipes and all her ldquo;littlerdquo; secrets , behind hundreds of home-style recipes that have been part of her family's heritage for many years. After cooking her recipes, you will taste and scent the delectable, mouthwatering aromas of cinnamon, mint and blossom water, the predominant flavours of Cypriot cuisine, which hopefully will evoke wonderful memories.
