Philoxenia means to welcome a stranger. Its a message that pervades Greek culture and cooking. Chapter by chapter,A Seat at My Table:Philoxeniaunfolds incredible meals drawn from this powerful philosophy, as well as from the love, hope and resilience that represent Kons own grandparents survival as refugees. Learn to make the dishes that line a mezze platter, including fresh tzatziki, golden saganaki and cheese-filled zucchini flowers, or veganize heavier dishes, such as moussaka and spanakopita. There are ample salads to serve up for lunch, highlighting everything from Ancient Greek grains, zucchini and artichoke to goats cheese, fig and pomegranate, as well as mouth-watering desserts (think Greek classics, such as loukoumades and baklava, as well as Greek-style coffees). Every vegetarian recipe includes instructions to make your dishes vegan or gluten-free. Youll even find tips on minimizing waste and gardening, courtesy of Sia, and Kons father, Leo.
