What goes into making a place a "Blue Zone," a place where people seem to live longer and healthier - and more satisfying - lives than anywhere else? Is it the food, the lack of stress, or the convulsive roads that twist and turn like a determined contortionist inspiring a faith in God you never knew you had? "IKARIA: Echo of Eden," is a love story. Not the love story between a man and a woman or parents and their children, though this is that, too, but more succinctly, it is a love story between a people and their island. And the ferocious and protective pride they have for a rock of wild, untamable, magical beauty that not only sustained their ancestors in an often hostile and formidable world, but sustains them now through national austerity. It is also about Soufiko (with recipes),that unique Ikarian culinary divinity and the philosophy it exemplifies.
