Many of those who made pilgrimages to the monasteries of the Holy Mountain noted the extraordinary taste of Athonite cuisine. But few people managed to bring recipes from Athos. This is understandable: after all, pilgrimage involves the acquisition of spiritual gifts, and not carnal pleasures. And yet, nutrition is an inevitable human need, and healthy food is the path to longevity. Not all the secrets of the Svyatogorsk meal will be revealed to you in the book “Athos Cuisine,” but its author, Lyudmila Volok, hopes that you will be able to discover many wonderful dishes of Athonite cuisine cook at home.
