OPA! is a celebration of the food, atmosphere, and traditions of Greek tavernas. With eighty delicious recipes and nine breakout stories that profile some of the iconic dishes from Greece’s tavernas and the people who make them, this volume is a warm welcome to the food of Greece.

Apple of Peru
Imagine a fruit so charming it comes wrapped in its own delicate lacework - a gift from nature's calyx that looks like something a particularly talented spider might have designed during an optimistic afternoon. Named after Nicander, a Greek poet who spent his time writing about poisons (which seems like a fun party trick), this botanical wonder transforms as it matures: the stem and calyx develop moody black patches, the leaves sprout tiny thorns like they're going through a rebellious phase. The real magic happens when you backlight it or position it against darkness - suddenly you're not just looking at a dried flower suspended in acrylic resin, you're witnessing something genuinely extraordinary. It's the kind of object that makes you pause and think, "How did nature pull this off?" Delicate yet surprisingly sturdy, it's botanical essence meets sculptural perfection.
