Description

Cooking & Food. Nonfiction. HTML:Bring the Mediterranean�??from Italy and Greece, to Morocco and Egypt, to Turkey and Lebanon�??into your kitchen with more than 500 fresh, flavorful recipes.

(I thought) I love Mediterranean foods and I’ve been interested in the health claims of the Mediterranean Diet, so who better to explore it with than the editors of America’s Test Kitchen! But yikes…I marked only about 10 (!) of the 500 recipes here to try, and there are only a few dozen

I’d be interested in if a chef prepared them for me. So many unappealing combinations of grains, legumes and vegetables, with relatively long and complicated preparations.

That said, the book is as beautiful (a thousand full-color photos on lush pages), informative (deep dives into food science and culinary technique) and pleasurable to read as every other ATK cookery book. And it did orient me to the tenets of the M Diet and motivates me to find grain/bean/veggie recipes that do appeal.
