...Greek food writer who divides her time between Athens and the island of Kea in the Cyclades. Kremezi spent eight years collecting recipes from fishermen, bakers and homemakers on the Greek islands. The result reads like a love letter to her native land. Forget about your basic Greek salad; we're talking To Chaviari Tou Ftochou ("Poor Man's Caviar"), Ktapodi Me Skordalia (Octopus with Garlic Sauce) and Nistisimes Hortopites (Fried Greens Pies).

There's an endearing British quality to the Beatles' voices in this volume, and that sometimes gives the anecdotes an Austin Powers-ish twist. Harrison remembers this story about the band's salad days in Germany: "Our friend Bernie came out from Liverpool to visit us. We were in a club, and Bernie walked in and said, 'I've just had a wank off this great-looking bird in the lav.' We all said, 'That's not a bird, Bernie...
