An Island Sanctuary: A House in Greece - John Stefanidis, Susanna Moore (Boek)

Review
"This book takes me back to [the] time I spent in Greece on my honeymoon. You'll pad through a rustic hillside home in Patmos and absorb every sun-drenched detail along the way. There are whitewashed rooms warmed by cobalt blues and timeless bougainvillea-covered gardens (my fave!), but you'll always return to the neverending view." ~Coastal Living

"Find yourself inspired by talents past and present in these richly illustrated reads: An Island Sanctuary" ~Town & Country

"Designer John Stefaridis invites us inside his sun-drenched Hellenic hideaway, where he complements majestic sea views with a thoughtfully selected array of furnishings - his brand of Greek chic." ~Veranda

Insider’s Sicily with a Seattle Star Chef (Agrodolce in Seattle)

Before opening her third Seattle restaurant, Agrodolce, on December 21, Food & Wine Best New Chef 2005 Maria Hines traveled to Sicily for research. Here, highlights from her eating tour.

The island of capers, olives, tomatoes, anchovies and lemons—what’s not to love? I have always been drawn to the sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean. You can see the influence on the menu at my first restaurant, Tilth. I got the idea for my second restaurant, Golden Beetle, after traveling through Morocco, Greece, Beirut, Istanbul and Cairo. Now I want to explore Sicily for my third restaurant, Agrodolce, which translates to “sour and sweet” in Italian, and is one of the key flavors in Sicilian cooking.
