Orexi!

Kali orexi means good appetite in Greek and is used to toast the start of a meal, not unlike how many of us say bon appétit. Orexi! invites readers to take a seat at the modern Greek table where delicious food is served in abundance.

Chef Theo Michaels shares a variety of recipes for traditional Greek and Cypriot-inspired food, family favourites and his own modern creations.

These enticing dishes are inspired by the landscape and divided into chapters for land, sea, sun and fire, with additional recipes for meze, drinks and desserts. Theo shows you how to cook and eat like a Greek by adopting the Greek way of life, which values hospitality, generosity and eating together.

This evolving cuisine is inspired by fresh local produce and promotes intuitive seasonal eating that celebrates key ingredients like oregano, lemon and olive oil, while exploring the versatility of modern Greek food today.

This type of cooking is simple and easy, transforming quality ingredients into flavourful food that is perfect for summer entertaining.
