help Taverna FAQ
Is Taverna about mainland Greek food or Cypriot food?
Georgina Hayden's full title is Taverna: Recipes from a Cypriot Kitchen. It draws specifically on her Greek-Cypriot family heritage rather than attempting to catalog every region of Greece.
What kinds of recipes appear in Taverna?
The book covers salads, breads, grilled dishes, stews, and sweets, including moussaka, chicken with cinnamon and orzo, and tahini pastries. Hayden combines inherited family recipes with modern adaptations suited to home cooking.
Who is Georgina Hayden?
Hayden is a British food writer and stylist of Greek-Cypriot heritage. Before publishing Taverna, she spent about a decade working with Jamie Oliver's food team.
Is Taverna useful for vegetarian cooks?
It contains vegetable, pulse, bread, salad, and pastry recipes, but it is not an exclusively vegetarian cookbook. For a meat-free book by the same author, Nistisima focuses on vegan fasting food from Orthodox traditions.
