 | | Cat Cora's recipes are divided not by course or season as in most cookbooks, but by inspiration. | | | Cora¹s are stuffed with the traditional rice and tomato pulp, and flavored with parsley, dill, black currants and pine nuts beneath a topping of kasseri cheese, melted crispy in the oven. | | | For unadulterated Greek, Cora supplies the recipes of her Aunt Demetra on the island of Skopelos, from a classic stifatho of stewed rabbits and onions to the honey-dipped cookies with fresh figs that finish the meal. |
