The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook

Bring the Mediterranean--from Italy and Greece, to Morocco and Egypt, to Turkey and Lebanon--into your kitchen with more than 500 fresh, flavourful recipes. This comprehensive cookbook brings the famously healthy Mediterranean diet to home cooks with a wide range of classic and inspired recipes, many fast enough to be made on a weeknight, using powerhouse Mediterranean ingredients available at your local supermarket. The structure of the book follows the guidelines of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. You'll find large chapters devoted to Beans and to Vegetables, the Seafood Chapter is larger than Poultry and Meat, and the Fruits and Sweets chapter, while shorter, is packed with recipes you can truly feel good eating. Recipes include Turkish Tomato, Bulgur, and Red Pepper Soup; Spiced Baked Rice with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Fennel; Orzo with Shrimp, Feta, and Lemon; Za'atar-Rubbed Butterflied Chicken; Grilled Swordfish Skewers with Tomato-Scallion Caponata; Sauteed Spinach with Yogurt and Dukkah; and Orange Polenta Cake. The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook is the go-to gift for friends and family, no matter the occasion.
