About the Authors!

Taste of Crete is very proud to represent Nikos and Maria Psilakis’s array of cookbooks here in America.

They are very well known throughout Greece and Europe for their beautifully written books filled with photographs taken by Mr. Nikos Psilakis. They are experts on the health aspects of the Mediterranean diet and in particular, the healthiest subset, the Diet of Crete.

In addition, Mr. Nikos Psilakis has authored numerous books on the mythology, monasteries, history of Greek foods, poetry and photography, many of which have won awards. He was commissioned by the Greek government to write the book- “History of the Olive Wreath” which was given to all the Olympians and Dignitaries at the Greek Olympics.

All of the books that we carry are a visual pleasure to read and a great education into the foods of Crete.
