Cyprus is an island country in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its location, its culture has been influenced greatly by nearby Turkey and Greece. The island’s cuisine is the particular focus of TLC’s show My Cypriot Kitchen. Host Tonia Buxton, a native Cypriot, takes viewers on a journey through her homeland to experience the flavors that make it special.
塞浦路斯是个位在地中海东部的岛国。因为地理位置的关系，塞浦路斯的文化深受邻国土耳其和希腊影响。岛上菜肴成为旅游生活频道节目《我的塞浦路斯厨房》介绍的焦点。主持人东妮雅．巴克斯顿是一位土生土长的塞浦路斯人，她将会带领观众走访她的家乡，体验塞浦路斯的独特风味。
For Buxton, food and family are closely connected. This connection becomes strongest during the important Christian holiday of Easter. Believers fast for 40 days before Easter Sunday, not eating meat or dairy during those weeks. So when the holiday finally arrives, families are more than ready for a delicious feast.
对于巴克斯顿来说，食物与家人有着紧密的连结。这种连结关系在基督教重要节日－复活节期间达到顶点。信徒在复活节前40天实行斋戒，这数周间禁食肉类及乳制品。因此当复活节来临时，家家户户都已准备好要大快朵颐了。
Buxton sparks off the celebrations by cooking traditional flaounes cakes with her cousin and aunts. Fresh mint and cinnamon give these simple cakes a zesty flavor. Then she visits a chocolatier with her two daughters to make enormous eggshells out of all-natural Cyprus chocolate. Finally, on Easter, her uncle Eddie roasts huge skewers of meat for the entire family to enjoy. What a treat after a long fast!
巴克斯顿以烘烤传统的复活节起司蛋糕与堂兄弟姊妹及阿姨们一同欢庆迎接复活节。新鲜薄荷与肉桂为这种朴实的蛋糕增添爽口风味。接着，巴克斯顿与两个女儿探访巧克力工厂，用纯天然的塞浦路斯巧克力制作大型巧克力蛋壳。最后，在复活节当天，她的叔叔艾迪炙烤肥美的肉串，让整个家族一饱口福。经过长时间的斋戒后，这是多么棒的美食享受啊！

A major part of Tonia Buxton’s Cypriot culinary adventure is making use of fresh local ingredients. One afternoon she meets her chef friend George to go for a walk in the hills. The purpose of their hike is to pick wild herbs by hand. They return to George’s kitchen to prepare a giant hunk of pork with the fresh herbs, plus honey, berries, and olive oil. This kind of dish has been cooked by Greeks for thousands of years.
