I've always been proud to call Liz my Grandmother-in-law. When I first met Liz and had her Vasilopita bread and her greek salad I was in love...with her! I have to admit it was the fabulous dishes she prepared that convinced me to marry her grandson. Four kids later and now stationed at another Base, holidays are just not the same without her wonderful meals. They are deliciously addicting!

My sister and I made the baklava, spanakopeta and the appetizer meatballs together for our Bunco group. The recipes were extremely easy to follow, thank you so much for that! The girls said that we raised the bar for our get-togethers. The next person that hosts will have to come up with something really good to beat what we made! My husband absolutely loved the baklava! I think that says alot because I know it doesn't come close to yours but you made the recipe so easy to follow that you would never know it was our first attempt! I can't wait to try everything in the book!!

When I first saw Liz Lazarides White's cookbook, "OPA", it was sitting on the kitchen counter in my parents' home. I was jealously thinking, "Wow, someone has a great Greek cookbook", and that was just because of the beauty of the cover picture. Then I found out it was a gift for me! I tore through the pages, soaking up the ingredients, salivating over the photos, promising to cook a meal from the cookbook as soon as I got home. The next week, I made "Marinated Chicken Drummettes" (with chicken legs for the dinner meal), "Oven Roasted Potatoes with Horseradish Sauce" and "My Greek Salad". The aroma of the meal alone nearly brought my neighbors to see what new dishes I had made. My family and I enjoyed one of the best meals that I have made in a long time-and I love to cook! Liz' book "Opa", has given me great new recipes to make and enjoy. Make the "Greek Spanakopeta"-it is better than any I have had before - and that includes the kind I had while in Greece! Thank you Liz, for bringing your special touch with food into my home and heart. Sincerely, Pam Ward, New Market MD

I think this cookbook is wonderful! I have tasted Liz's recipes and they are absolutely to die for (especially the chocolate pudding cake, pineapple coconut cake, spanakopeta, greek lamb...the list could go on!!) Liz is such a great person and I am very happy for her as she deserves the best.

This review is a little different as OPA COOKBOOK is my creation and I am very proud of it. I hope you will try some of my recipes as I think they are wonderful and very easy to follow. For those of you that have purchased my book, I am deeply grateful. The comments that many of you have written to GreekInternetMarket have been wonderful and I am so flattered by them. If you purchase my cookbook and you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time. Would love to hear from you! I know that you will enjoy my cookbook just as much as I've enjoyed writing and sharing my recipes, my family and my Greek heritage with everyone.
