"This is a beautifully written book that transports you into the heart of ordinary, everyday Greek life. David Sutton's method is innovative and his writing lucid. He draws readers into an intimate ethnographic adventure--an embodied and sensorial cultural immersion--in which they have the sense of inquiring and learning alongside him."--Laurie Kain Hart, Stinnes Professor of Global Studies and Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College " Secrets from the Greek Kitchen is yet another fine example of Sutton's ability to draw our attention to details that matter through insightful ethnography and engaging writing. He brings his informants' stories to life and unravels the magic behind a world that otherwise might be thought of as familiar, everyday, and insignificant. Once you have read this book you will never again consider cooking as trivial and mundane."--Eleana Yalouri, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences.
