The author has enlivened her recipe collection with sixteen stories - many related to the book’s recipes - from her childhood in Corfu. The vignettes provide heartwarming glimpses into the lives of her family and their friends, and touch on the occupation of the island by the Italians and Germans in WWII. The book includes illustrations of Corfu from photographs taken by the author.

The idea for my cookbook began when I discovered four little red notebooks that contained all of my mother's recipes. Some of the recipes are unique and to my knowledge are not found in any other Greek cookbook. Most of the recipes are my mother's. A certain number of recipes are indigenous to Corfu. Others are traditional Greek recipes and still others are my own. The book is comprised of approximately 160 recipes that are incorporated into a dozen categories beginning with appetizers and concluding with desserts. Throughout the book, I have included personal stories directly or indirectly related to the various categories. In essence, this cookbook is a tribute to my mother, Maria. She was the motivating force for encouraging me to explore the world of cooking.
You will find this to be more than a collection of delicious recipes. Corfu, one of the seven Ionian islands off the northwest coast of Greece, has its own approach to Greek cuisine. While you will encounter many traditional recipes, Alice Padova Anderson adds the subtle, yet distinctively western-influenced flavors of her beautiful island home.
She has also enlivened the collection with wonderful vignettes of her childhood on Corfu. Her stories are worthy of their own volume; combined with her recipes they make Corfu Cooking a jewel in any chef’s treasury.
If you thought you knew Greece you have yet to experience Corfu!
