Like many Greeks, they eat seasonally, and most of the recipes they prepare are inspired by the Food grown in their own backyard.
They eventually began to grow their own food, working together to plant and harvest each season\'s bounty in their garden.
With the abundance of nature and boundless possibilities of ingredients around them, Nicholas, Olivia, and Chloe indulge in their favorite pastime--cooking delicious meals together while sharing family stories.
The family now live almost full time on the Mani coast, in a little house nestled in the Taygetos foothills close to Kardamili--a charming village of roughly 450 residents, where a walk across town takes five minutes.
Over the years, Olivia and Chloe too felt the desire to reconnect to their roots.
Though America has been his adopted country for the last thirty years, he felt himself irresistibly drawn back to his homeland after his two daughters, Olivia and Chloe, were grown.
Sea Salt and Honey is a delightful ode to the rustic lifestyle of Nicholas Tsakiris\' birthplace.
