The food of the sea, the garden and the grill
The Mediterranean diet is the most studied way of eating in the world, and the least complicated: olive oil, vegetables, beans, fish, bread, herbs, a little cheese, a little wine. This book is the everyday version — the dishes people in Israel, Greece, Italy, Turkey, Lebanon and Spain actually cook on a Tuesday, written for a small kitchen and a good market.
Mezze and salads
Classic hummus, baba ghanoush, Israeli chopped salad, Greek village salad, tabbouleh, shakshuka.
Soups, legumes and vegetables
Red lentil soup, mujadara, fasolada, harira, falafel, ratatouille, roast cauliflower with tahini, spanakopita, gigantes, stuffed peppers.
Fish and seafood
Whole roasted sea bream, chraime, garlic prawns, Greek baked cod, sardines on toast, weeknight seafood paella.
Chicken, meat, bread and sweets
Chicken shawarma, Greek lemon chicken, lamb kofta with tahini, chicken tagine, lighter moussaka, souvlaki, pita, focaccia, manakish, orange-almond cake, baklava, figs with yogurt and honey.
How each recipe is written
A photo, the story in two lines, the ingredients for four, and the method in numbered steps that take one screen — no scrolling while your hands are wet. Where a dish has a shortcut (canned chickpeas, a shop-bought pastry), the recipe says so.
Who this is for
Home cooks who want weeknight food that is healthy without trying to be, hosts who want a mezze table that looks like more work than it was, and anyone who came back from the Mediterranean wanting to eat like that at home.
