Over the years, Zekai Altan has proven to be a tireless treasure hunter not only of Cypriot gastronomic culture but of all the islands traditions. He is a researcher who, in all of his writings, celebrates our roots and makes the local universal. With this new book, Altan continues a journey that he began years ago, in which he reminds us once again of how and why Cypriot culture needs to be recorded and generously shares the wealth of information that he has collected over decades.
