Over 300 Sun-Drenched Recipes
From Spain to Israel, past the islands of Greece, Malta and Cyprus, the diverse countries of the Mediterranean have each developed their own distinctive uses for the sun-drenched fruits, vegetables, herbs, fish and shellfish that are so wonderfully abundant in this region.
Sweet and savoury, traditional and innovative, this collection of delicious recipes recreates the flavours, aromas and colours typical of these sunny cuisines. Recipes include soups and appetisers, vegetable dishes, salads, fish and seafood, meat, poultry and game. There is the refreshing coolness of Middle Eastern Yoghurt and Cucumber Soup to try, the wonderful colours of Spanish Asparagus and Orange Salad to enjoy, the distinctive, creamy taste and texture of Risotto alla Milanese, and even Persian Duck Breasts with a Walnut and Pomegranate Sauce to savour.
The wide variety of grains, pulses and breads are covered, for example Egyptian Rice with Lentils, and Olive Bread, plus mouth-watering desserts and pastries, such as Date and Almond Tart from France and Italian Biscotti.
Every recipe is photographed step-by-step, with glorious pictures of each finished dish.
