'What a fantastic book! The generous Cretan sun shines from every page, this book is so much more than a cookbook, it's a love song to a very special place and its delicious culture, and we are lucky to have the brilliant Marianna as our guide to this magical island.' * Itamar Srulovich, co-founder of Honey & Co. * 'Aegean sun and sea and perfect fisherman's soup. A delicious evocation of place and memory from one of my favourite cooks.' * Allan Jenkins, Editor of Observer Food Monthly * 'A gorgeous, evocative and deeply personal book that transports you to Crete and celebrates its cuisine through the cooking of one of our most exciting chefs. The brilliant Marianna holds your hand as she guides you from the crystal waters of the coast to the craggy mountains of her beloved homeland, cooking up the most delicious creations along the way. I want to make everything in this beautiful book. An absolute treasure.' * Rosie Birkett, author of The Joyful Home Cook *
