Christoforos Peskias, whose Athens restaurant 48 has one Michelin star, promises to outdo his debut last year, when he deconstructed the Greek salad with tomato sorbet, peppers and feta in jelly, cucumber in foam, onion in thin chips and olive puree.

I, too, was suffering hunger pains, and was engrossed in the feasts he was taught to conjure out of thin air. I, just like him, could do no more than dream of delectable chewables, constrained as I was to mush for weeks. And there we bonded. Sure, he was a Nazi soldier, a job he had volunteered for.
