How to Roast a Lamb Review and Giveaway
A rising star in the food world, Michael Psilakis is co-owner of a growing empire of modern Mediterranean restaurants, and one of the most exciting young chefs in America today. In How to Roast a Lamb: New Greek Classic Cooking, the self-taught chef offers recipes from his restaurants and his home in this, his much-anticipated first cookbook.
A key point to me? The recipes are on one page or dual pages, and the photos are on others. So no interfering with page turning while cooking. love it!
Psilakis’s cooking utilizes the fresh, naturally healthful ingredients of the Mediterranean augmented by techniques that define New American cuisine.
Home cooks who have gravitated toward Italian cookbooks for the simple, user-friendly dishes, satisfying flavors, and comfortable, family-oriented meals, will welcome Psilakis’s approach to Greek food, which is similarly healthful, affordable, and satisfying to share any night of the week.
This book is not for the beginning chef. Most of these recipes do call for some experience, but there are also quite a few that are simple to prepare and have rather simple, but tasty ingredients.
If anything, this book is a coffee table book. It is just gorgeous! It would make a beautiful gift either for the Holidays or as a Hostess gift for all the holiday parties coming up!
I have one hard cover copy of How to Roast a Lamb: New Greek Classic Cooking for one Prissy Green reader!

Three Thanksgiving traditions for us are turkey (of course!), pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce. The cranberry sauce was a major source of debate, however. My husband insists on whole-berry sauce (preferably homemade). I, on the other hand, pine for the Ocean Spray “cranberry Jello” (as my husband calls it). Fresh out of the can, with the can-stripes still visible on its side… just like the kind mom used to open! We never did work out a compromise — so we just get both kinds now.
I voted for you– #35.
Good luck!
I’m Greek, and my #1 side is a little UNtraditional:
