From the rear cover

"Christopher Bakken celebrates Greek food in the Greek style, sharing it with those he loves at joyous tables filled with overflowing trays of mezedes, carafes of wine, and cloudy glasses of ouzo. But he doesn't just look at the way the food is prepared or harvested--or eaten--he also immerses himself in the process and introduces us to the friends he makes along the way. This is food writing that goes beyond the simple pleasure of eating--Honey, Olives, Octopus illuminates something about what it means to be alive."--Natalie Bakopoulos, author of The Green Shore

"I have never been to Greece, or at least I hadn't until I read Christopher Bakken's poetic story of food and life on its islands. The book sings with Aegean beauty: the cobalt blue water, stoic olive groves, pine sap, and chicory I'd always dreamed I would find there. It is an absolute pleasure to take the journey with him in these pages." --Tamar Adler, author of An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace
