I'm from Cyprus (living in Dubai) and reading your post made me miss koupepia! My long-gone yiayia (gran) used to make these regularly - but I have never attempted to myself. Will follow your recipe this summer when am back home. x
Your book reminds me of a bedraggled relic on my bookshelf The Myra Breckinridge Cookbook, based on the novel by Author Gore Vidal. It too contains a recipe for Cod Pieces, and plenty of other single entendre recipe names like Bearded Oysters and Dill Dough Buns. Plenty of good basic recipes I still use today.There is also a section 'Homage to Alice B Tolkas' with recipes for cooking with hashish. Do Millennials know how naughty we oldies used to be?

Lovely! I hope they bring back good memories. Thanks, J.

Did you ever come across Rude Food? That was amazing.
The name rings a bell. Not sure I ever bought it. Was it compiled by TD.
I still have this book. It was a 21st birthday present back in the 80s!
Somone obviously thought very highly of you!
