From Island to Island

More Information

Culinary island hopping

Greece’s legendary wealth of islands is legendary. Each island has its own traditions and bears the imprint of different cultural influences: in the Ionian Sea, dishes reflect the islands’ proximity to Italy, in the Aegean, oriental spices and sweet pastries reveal the legacy of Asia Minor. Crete, the largest island and home to ancient myths, surprises with remarkable and unexpected dishes.

In From Island to Island, Lazaros Kapageoroglou travels across Greece’s island groups, meeting people, cooking with them, talking, laughing, photographing, tasting, and learning. His recipes tell the story of aromas, simplicity, community, and joy. To enhance the authentic experience, Lazaros has included QR codes that link to playlists of Greek music.

The result is a culinary island journey that combines text, photography, and numerous authentic recipes, to invite readers to sit at a table filled with flavourful dishes and warm-hearted people, surrounded by the sea and the scent of olive oil.

Lazaros Kapageoroglou: was born in Greece and has lived in Zurich for many years, where he works as a chef, entrepreneur, and passionate host. Through his courses and his blog Laz uns kochen, he shares his enthusiasm for cooking and culinary enjoyment.
