by Tasia Malakasis, Natalie Chanin (Foreword by), Stephanie Schamban (Photographer)

Overview

Tasia's Table is a collection of recipes and stories from the award-winning cheesemaker at Belle Chevre. Tasia's circuitous life and career journey led her to a small fromagerie in rural Alabama where she now shares her passion and philosophy on food with home cooks across the country. In this beautiful book, Tasia shares the recipes from her cultural influences—both Southern and Greek—that shape the setting of her table for friends and family daily. From goat cheese frittatas to goat cheese ice-cream to saganaki and buttermilk biscuits, she gives an inviting glimpse into diverse and rich culinary traditions that readers can embrace in their own kitchens.
