Glorious and sumptuous. From the simplest dishes through to the more complex, Irini totally captures the gastronomy of Greece., Victoria Hislop

An ode to Greek gastronomy, Radio Times

You can learn cooking technique. What you cannot put into somebody is absolute love and passion. And Irini is just bursting with it! It's from the heart, every time she cooks., Gregg Wallace, MasterChef episode, 2019

The 2019 MasterChef champion has created a stunning book full of delicious family friendly recipes. Ideas for breakfast, quick meals, salads and dinner are included. Moussaka, baklava and slow-roasted lamb are some of the tastiest dishes on the menu., the Sun

This is my favourite cookbook of the year. [Irini's] approach to cooking is celebratory. It's about flavour, texture and presentation, of course, but it is also about emotional nourishment: love and family, conversation and laughter, hearts and minds. Anyone who says they don't like sharing plates needs to read Tzortzoglou's words, make her recipes, and enjoy her food. A total joy from start to finish., Russell Norman

Completely mouthwatering, elegant and celebratory., Anna Chancellor

What a gorgeous book! The recipes and the beautiful photos had me immediately transported to the beautiful island of Crete. If only I could hop on a plane; cooking the recipes in my kitchen will be the next best thing., Rachel Knoo



Greek food has a very special place in my heart as I spent some very enjoyable early years of my career working in a Greek restaurant in Southampton! Under The Olive Tree is a treasure trove of personal and factual information about the food of Greece and its islands. Irini's love and passion for Greek ingredients as well as for values associated with food such as nurture, sharing and hospitality are infectious., Simon Rogan

Irini brings holiday flavours to your home with these delicious Greek recipes from her stunning debut cookbook., Woman & Home

A beautiful book, oozing with the true flavours of Greece., Anthony Horowitz
