The food shots by Nicolas Buisson are warm, sunny and simple and the location shots of Greece and Mazi restaurant hit the right note. Who's the book suitable for? People with healthy appetites or with a (very Greek) need to feed. Purists might not like some of the modern twists, but there's plenty to satisfy traditionalists too.
