Some years ago, my sister, Jan, loaned me a book to read – she thought that I might enjoy it. The memoir of man who moved to Greece to write a novel, and stayed for 20 plus years. I enjoyed the book so much that I bought it, and am always bringing it off the shelf, particularly for Tom’s recipe for Tzatziki!
The book, The Summer of my Greek Tavérna, a memoir by Tom Stone, published in 2002 is a wonderful read and has a selection of recipes at the end. Jan had tried the Tzatziki recipe and told me how great it was – she was right, it is amazing, and always so popular when it’s served as a dip, or an accompaniment with a platter of kofta. It’s deliciously thick, creamy and has a little bite from the garlic and white pepper!
I’ve adapted the recipe a little over time, but is still very similar to the one published.
