A taste of the history of the Lykeion ton Hellinidon and of urban family life at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20thcentury. 

During those hard but creative years, the founder of the Lykeion ton Hellinidon Callirrhoe Parren and the “Ladies’ Newspaper” she had published paved the way for the emancipation of modern Greek women.

The majority of recipes and tips included in this edition are from that pioneering publication. They are all organised, edited, modernised, in other words usable.
