Diane explores the urbane, bourgeois flavors of Athens of another era in this tasty trip down memory lane, when she visits the home and kitchen of 90-year-old Irini Pournara and her daughter Margarita, a journalist for the city's most respected daily paper. Eirini makes an Athenian classic and the only dish to which this city has lent its name: Athinaiki Mayioneza (poached fish and vegetables with homemade mayonnaise), and Diane cooks up a sophisticated artichoke dish called A la Polita.
