The perfect gift for anyone itching to try Mediterranean cooking in their own home Oct 09, 2008
By Midwest Book Review
The Parthenon Cookbook: Great Mediterranean Recipes from the Heart of Chicago's Greektown lives up to its title with a wealth of wondrous, mouth-watering recipes for Mediterranean cuisine, from keftedes (broiled meatballs) to pan-fried zucchini with skordalia, to stuffed grape leaves, roast leg of lamb, "the Parthenon's famous braised eggplant" and much more. Full-color, full-page photography of the dishes reveal just how tempting these creations can be - and perhaps best of all, the recipes are exemplary of the healthful "Mediterranean diet", which relies on staples that are good for the body such as fish, whole grains, vegetables, and olive oil. Further enhanced with a text introduction offering a retrospective on The Parthenon and Greektown since the 1960s and more, The Parthenon Cookbook is the perfect gift for anyone itching to try Mediterranean cooking in their own home.

Very Authentic Apr 08, 2011
By S. Sass
Being a patron of the Parthenon restaurant since the mid 1970s, I can honestly say that this book provides a very accurate and authentic set of recipes that are adapted for the home kitchen. I haven't found a bad dish in the entire book....highly recommended for fans of Greek cuisine.
Parthenon revisited Oct 07, 2011
By Dan Rohde
This book combines the history of the Parthenon back to the 1970s with their great Greek recipes. You don't have to be a professional chef to make them. I bought an extra copy for a friend. Opa!

Great Memories Jan 26, 2009
By foodlover34
I was one of the original customers when Chris opened the restaurant on July 5, 1968. So I have had many years of wonderful memories. The cookbook is a lot of fun. All of my children grew up on the braised sweetbreads and lamb's head. You will enjoy all of the recipes.

 Good, but heavy recipes Feb 09, 2009
By Laura Owen
This book is small, but there are some interesting recipes. That being said, I can't say that I would use this very frequently as the recipes seem to be very heavy and calorie laden for regular use.
