Traditional Cyprus Recipes

If you are a card-playing foodie, this is the pack for you. Fifty-two recipes (and not 54, as stated on the box) of dishes from Cyprus are described and depicted. The English texts are riddled with mistakes, some of them quite amusing: “INCREDIENTS”, “ingedients”, “potaoes”, “rise”, “sause”, “mashrooms”, “pumpking”, “mixure”, “caserole”, “pintch”, “decrees”, “scrable”, “shimmer well”, etc., etc. A jolly chef is featured at each end of the two Jokers. At least the borderless back design is attractive and colourful, with food and olive oil in the foreground, set against a seascape in the background. See the box►
