The secrets of Greek cuisine explore how the skills, practices and cooking knowledge of Kalimnos Island have been enhanced or transformed by contemporary events. Based on more than 20 years of research and author's videos of everyday culinary techniques, this rich ethnography treats the kitchen as an environment in which people perform tasks, present experiences and face culturally specific risks.
