Bøger af Tessa Kiros

If you are familiar with my books, you will see I haven't changed much. I don't know if our tastes do change much. Mine have evolved - swayed in a new direction with discoveries, sandwiched with things from my travels and our everyday needs. The cravings that pull me are essentially the same. Sour. Salty. Buckets of leafy greens, splashes of strong flavour. Colour and season. All still there. Mixed in today with ayurveda and the changing needs of family and friends. Less sugar. Less white flour. More fruit and veg (never a problem). Red meat once a week. Chicken once. Fish twice. The rest all plant based.Here it is. For me and for you. The things we are eating at home in Tuscany. And with my family in Greece. Nowadays. With some reminiscing.

The New York Times calls Tessa Kiros's work "exuberant and colorful." And that is just what her gem, Falling Cloudberries: A World of Family Recipes, is. The book is full of personal touches and stories. It is a beautiful collection of family anecdotes, history, and traditions all documented with stunning photography, unique illustrations, and a warm dialogue that will simply pull you in. You'll find Falling Cloudberries in the Cookbook section, but it could also easily be found in the World Cultures or Travel sections because the recipe collections give a unique taste of Finland, Greece, Cyprus, South Africa, and Italy all in one. This is possible because of Kiros's life. She takes us on a global journey of taste and experience with her eclectic compilation of 170 simple and delicious recipes that reflect her world travels, multicultural heritage, family traditions, and amazing cooking combinations. Taste the world without leaving your kitchen. Destination: delicious. Kiros inspires home cooks with a broad offering of dishes from Finland, Greece, Cyprus, South Africa, and Italy. Recipes are organized by country and are complemented with 185 four-color photographs and gorgeous illustrations. A handy index makes it easy to find specific foods and recipes. The book even has a lovely illustration of the author's family tree, which gives home cooks an inside look at the author's diverse and world-spanning family and their food traditions. The bold packaging and robust photography are just as inviting as Tessa's tasty dishes.

Food is a quilt that is patchworked together by people's language, traditions and way of living. In Venezia, Tessa Kiros shows the magic and the charm of the famous Italian city of Venice. She embroiders the recipes of this city of canals, bridges and carnivals with her own unique colours and threads.

Features a collection of recipes ranging from the comfort of soups and roasts, to the striking colours of beetroot gnocchi and mango sorbet, and to the simplicity of rice pudding with nutmeg.
