Brimming with originality and joie de vivre of the warm south, 'Healthy Mediterranean Cooking' makes eating the Mediterranean way both a healthy option and an irresistible temptation. Here is the aroma of fresh herbs, rich olive oil and pungent garlic, evoking the conviviality of open-air markets and quayside pavement cafes.
Celebrated cook and writer Rena Salaman has brought together more than 100 delicious, healthy, easy-to-prepare recipes from every corner of the Mediterranean, including not only examples of the well-loved cuisines of France, Italy, Spain and Greece, but also less familiar dishes from North Africa and the Middle East. Greek olive bread, couscous salad with peaches, Provencal seafood casserole, orange and almond custard - these are just a few of the memorable and mouthwatering dishes that are also good for you. Gus Filgate's elegant and enticing photographs of the recipes reveal a cuisine that is as full of colour and style as it is of flavour.
