Saffron, garlic and olives are more than just ingredients; they epitomise a whole world of living and eating, and represent the sensuous tastes, rich colours and earthy aromas of Mediterranean cooking. The flavours they impart can transform the most simple of meals into a taste sensation.
Divided into three distinct chapters, the recipes in this book are healthy, simple to make and bursting with flavour, making full use of the magnificent ingredients now readily available. True to Mediterranean cuisine, meat and poultry play a supporting role rather than occupying centre stage, and pasta, rice, vegetables, fish, seafood, grains and pulses are the stars.
Here is a collection of inspiring recipes that are perfect both for family meals and entertaining friends - dishes that open up a world of wonderful flavours for you to enjoy.
