Nexus of Art, Cuisine, and Science by Eugene G. Maurakis, Ph.D.

After 4.5 years amidst a host of personal, research, and teaching activities, my cookbook, Foods are Memories, is now available at sheepandthechicken.com.

Foods Are Memories is a cookbook with sturdy 100lb soft front and back covers, protected by clear plastic, and bound with metal Wire-O binding. Each recipe is beautifully captured in full-color images, while 35 black and white photographs clarify complex or lesser-known culinary techniques.

In addition to its mouth-watering recipes, Foods are Memories enhances your Greek dining experience with suggested menus and traditional beverage pairings for meals and special occasions. To ensure your culinary journey is both enjoyable and authentic, the book provides phonetic pronunciations for the Greek names of each recipe.

What sets Foods are Memories apart is its rich storytelling. The author weaves cherished memories inspired by specific dishes throughout the text. These reminiscences, alongside interesting anecdotes, and accompanying photographs from the author’s research in Greece, the Mediterranean Sea, North America, and the North Atlantic Ocean, add a unique layer of insight to the cookbook. As you explore these recipes, you will gain a deeper understanding of Greek lifestyle and, perhaps, a fresh perspective on life itself.
