In the winter of 1933, eighteen-year-old Patrick ("Paddy") Leigh Fermor set out on a walk across Europe, starting in Holland and ending in Constantinople. Decades later, Leigh Fermor told the story of that life-changing journey in "A Time of Gifts" and "Between the Woods and the Water," works now celebrated as among the most vivid, absorbing, and beautifully written travel books of all time. "The Broken Road" is the account of the final leg of his journey, catching up with Paddy in the fall of 1934, following him through Bulgaria and Romania and ending in Greece. Days and nights on the road, spectacular landscapes and uncanny cities, friendships lost and found, leading the high life in Bucharest or camping out with fishermen and shepherds--such incidents and escapades are described with all the linguistic bravura and astonishing learning that Leigh Fermor is famous for, but also with a melancholy awareness of the passage of time. Throughout it we can hear the still-ringing voice of an irrepressible young man embarking on a life of adventure.

Η Εύη Βουτσινά, που εδώ και δώδεκα τουλάχιστον χρόνια γυρίζει ολόκληρη την Ελλάδα καταγράφοντας το γαστρονομικό της πολιτισμό, με το βιβλίο αυτό επιστρέφει στις ρίζες της. Η αναζήτησή της δεν περιορίζεται σε συνταγές. Την ενδιαφέρουν οι τεχνικές παρασκευής των φαγητών, οι ανθρώπινες συνθήκες κι όλα εκείνα τα «μικρά» που χαρίζουν σε κάθε παρασκεύασμα τη χαρακτηριστική του γεύση, όλα εκείνα που συνθέτουν το ήθος των φαγητών. Εντέλει, συλλέγοντας συνταγές αλλά και ιστορίες γύρω από αυτές, η Εύη Βουτσινά εργάζεται σαν λαογράφος: στα βιβλία της πρωταγωνιστούν οι κύκλοι του χρόνου, ο ρυθμός και η αρμονία της φύσης· πρωταγωνιστεί η ουσία της ελληνικής μαγειρικής (και, ευρύτερα, της μεσογειακής), που είναι το μέτρο. Μα πάνω απ’ όλα πρωταγωνιστούν οι άνθρωποι: εκείνοι που αποδέχονται να μοιραστούν μαζί μας τις μνήμες τους, που αναλαμβάνουν να αφηγηθούν γοητευτικές ιστορίες από τα παλιά, οι οποίες γεφυρώνουν με απλότητα το χτες με το σήμερα. Το βιβλίο της Εύης Βουτσινά Λευκαδίτικα μαγειρέματα τιμήθηκε με το Βραβείο Gourmet 2008-2009 στην κατηγορία Βιβλίο Γαστρονομίας Έλληνα Συγγραφέα.
