Greek Summer Vegetable Stew
"A very traditionaldish from Ikaria, Greek. My family gave high praises to this dish, but there's hardly any fancy cooking techniques involved. All the ingredients used are in season during July/August/Sept. So this dish is best cooked during this period. What a lovely, simple recipe this is! (Recipe from Kochilas's "The Glorious Foods of Greece)."

I am a proud mother of my twins Darius and Constance; also a grade school teacher. You can understand my need for easy, healthy, fast, and fun recipes! I love to cook with my hubby, who runs an Italian restaurant. But in my kitchen, even he doesn't get to boss me around :)
