Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-27 00:00:00 Andie Beers This should not be read as a cookbook as much as it is a diary working through the foodlife of an island. There are recipes, and many of them, but the purpose of the book is to record the simple life Spoerri led for those months on Symi. There is additional information from both the compiler as well as the translator, resulting in a book that has both footnotes and endnotes. A marvelous read of people enjoying their life in the moment, enjoying their history as it affects them today, and not considering, not worrying about what the past might bear on their future.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-07-29 00:00:00 SAMUEL SWEET Conceptual artist Daniel Spoerri travels to a Greek Island to "identify" found objects and also write a recipe book of local delicacies. Whether he actually went to the island at all is a matter of debate.
