Greek cookery, historically a forerunner of Western cuisine, spread its culinary influence - via ancient Rome - throughout Europe and beyond. The breadth and variety of Greek cooking will astound the uninitiated who so wrongly believe it is limited to lobster, lamb and olive oil. This book explains, in succinct step-by-step methods, more than 100 recipes to suit every course and occasion. The contents are: Appetisers, soups, sauces, meats, seafood, poultry, pasta and rice, vegetables, salads, pastries, cakes and cookies, preserves, breads and wines. They collectively confound the mischievous myth that Greek cooking is too rich, too spiced or too oily. The author, intensely proud of her Greek heritage, explains the historical and provincial origins of the widely different food styles; some of which date back to the early Olympiads when victors were showered with honey cakes and other delicacies as a tribute. All recipes are describes by both their Greek name and the English equivalent. The Greek Cookbook is more than an ethnic repertoire, it is creative all-seasons cookery at its best - based on experience that reaches as far back as classic Greece itself.

In ad 978, Aethelred the Unready acceded to the throne of England and married Emma of Normandy, two events that appear to have precipitated the cascade that inevitably led to the Battle of Hastings. This book chronicles Emma's subsequent marriage to Canute after the death of Aethelred's son, Edmund Ironside, and the reigns of Harold I and Harthacnut, whose lack of offspring allowed Edward the Confessor (another of Aethelred's sons) to return from exile and take up the crown. The Confessor's marriage to Edith, daughter of Earl Godwin, established the earl's clan as the power behind the throne. The childless Edward's deathbed gave the kingship to Godwin's son, Harold, though the early chronicles state that Edward had promised a previous claim to Duke William of Normandy (Emma's nephew). This broken promise led to the confrontation at Hastings, where a lack of archaeology, along with archaeological finds nearby, supports Stephen Fletcher's claim that the commonly accepted site, in the town of Battle, is in fact not the true location. His claim is more strongly substantiated when the site is compared to the chronicles' description of events, so where did the decisive conflict actually take place?
