Mediterranean Cooking unlocks the mystery of preparing specialty dishes from the regions throughout Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, North Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East, and more. Mediterranean cooking is typically low in salt, fat, and starch, relying instead on fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and poultry--recognized as a way of eating associated with the lowest rates of chronic disease and the highest life expectancies around the world. | | | Features: | |

Great book covering all of the MediterraneanApr 22, 2010
I have been using this book now for almost six months and I love it! I would recommend it to anyone who loves this kind of food or just loves to cook new and exciting dishes. It is easy to follow and the recipes come out great.
A must have.

Interesting book- authors know what they are talking about!Apr 28, 2008
I have to say that I had always stayed away from Mediterranean books as I did not think I needed one.I thought my mom had already taught me enough and somehow all other Mediterranean cookbooks I had seen were merely a representation of the culinary traditions of three or four countries anyways. This book on the other hand includes recipes from truly all Mediterranean countries as the name suggests. The recipes are so diverse and true to their origin that will delight or at least surprise any one with their uniqueness. The book is divided by regions. As i already said this book has recipes true to their origin so in order to really appreciate and enjoy the recipes the cook and whoever tries them needs to have an open mind on flavors and spices. I am so glad I got this book as even though my grandmas recipes on the savory pies still have that extra flavor, no other book has had a better recipe for them. If you enjoy and want true Mediterranean cooking beyond the americanized fixed and switched recipes, this book is a must!

Not Your Run-of-the-Mill Mediterranean RecipesDec 06, 2006
This book has some unusual recipes from a variety of Mediterranean countries, some of which can delight the palate. A great companion book to this one, which features easy cooking methods for some great Mediterranean dishes, is Mary El-Baz's "Easy and Healthful Mediterranean Cooking."
