If only it was as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate. |
| Diogenes the Cynic |
"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found. |

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

What my mother believed about cooking is that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you. |

*[NOTE: Original recipe calls for "1-1/2 glasses of oil and 1-1/2
glasses of orange juice". No mention of what size glass, as is
typical of Greek cookbooks.]
Combine the oil, the orange juice and sugar. Dissolve the soda with
the brandy and add it to the mixture also; add the cinnamon and the
ground cloves. Then very gradually add the flour, stirring
constantly. Finally, combine the walnuts and the raisins with the
mixture. Coat a medium-sized baking tin to spread the mixture evenly.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 40-50 minutes. Cut to serve
into oblong pieces.
