Wow! Truly great - from a Native of the Mediterranean
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I grew up with the colors, aromas, and flavors of Southern Europe and this book's recipe recaptures them with colorful recipes of various degrees of difficulty from all over the Mediterranean Region of Southern Europe/Africa/Middle East. It includes middle eastern and Egyptian cuisine, as well as the more widespread Spanish/Italian/Greek recipes. Nice format and layout, and very beautiful pictures, make this book a feast for the eyes...and the palate.
A Little Of Everything

More than just recipes, this book also includes several sections writing about the region and it's relationship to cooking techniques. Also included are explanations of many ingredients, unique to Mediterranean cooking. The book is full of scenic Mediterranean pictures and pictures of the food as per recipe. And this is all done in an overall good balance, with respect to the actual recipes. A hard-core recipe book, it is not. But for someone new to this type of cooking, it is a great primer, that also gives you a little peak into this part of the world.
