Food is obviously a big part of your wedding day and getting the menu right is of utmost importance. If you are going for a menu of Greek cuisine it is important to go out and try as many different dishes as you can. That can be a little hard if you live outside of Greece and do not come from a Greek family. So my advice is, go out and buy a Greek cookbook and test drive some of them at home or if you have a Greek friend, rope them into cooking for you! Here are a couple of cookery book ideas for you to try.

I have been raised eating Rena Salaman's recipes and am a big fan of her books. Every trip to Athens I pack my copy so I can update it with any changes my Aunt may have made to the recipes. I know for a fact Auntie Fi uses hers on a daily basis and to this day, I have not come across a better cook in the Greek cuisine department than her.

I saw Tessa Kiros's on the shelves of a Waterstones store and was truly tempted to buy it. I later saw a blog post about it on the Ammos Hotel's blog as Nikos, the owner, knows the author and raves about it. I have stayed at his hotel a couple of times and am planning on returning again this September. His food is amazing, so in my opinion, any cookbook he says is great, will be.
Not only will it give you a wider range of dishes for you to choose for your wedding menu but can be used as a great way to entertain whilst doing research at the same time. Invite some friends round, make an evening of it and get their feedback on the food. If you really want to box clever, you could couple it up with some Greek wine tasting.
