Free Downloads Secrets From The Greek Kitchen: Cooking, Skill, And Everyday Life On An Aegean Island (California Studies In Food And Culture)
Secrets from the Greek Kitchen explores how cooking skills, practices, and knowledge on the island of Kalymnos are reinforced or transformed by contemporary events. Based on more than twenty years of research and the author’s videos of everyday cooking techniques, this rich ethnography treats the kitchen as an environment in which people pursue tasks, display expertise, and confront culturally defined risks. Kalymnian islanders, both women and men, use food as a way of evoking personal and collective memory, creating an elaborate discourse on ingredients, tastes, and recipes. Author David E. Sutton focuses on micropractices in the kitchen, such as the cutting of onions, the use of a can opener, and the rolling of phyllo dough, along with cultural changes, such as the rise of televised cooking shows, to reveal new perspectives on the anthropology of everyday living.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. I've only been to a few of the Greek islands but have always wondered about the lives of the people who live there. The stories are great and the writing style very easy and enjoyable to read. Just like the author, I feel like I was invited into peoples homes and shared a part of their lives.
