This cookbook combines stunning photography and step-by-step written directions for over 300 Mediterranean Recipes!
This Mediterranean Cookbook is filled with authentic recipes from:

I love the extra resources included in this cookbook:

These resources give you insight into the different types of ingredients and also recommendations for their most suitable uses.
For example – which tomatoes are good for pasta sauces vs. which tomatoes are best for eating freshly sliced.
The Mediterranean Cookbook is broken down into the following sections:

There are so many recipes we want to try – my husband LOVES olive bread and there is a great recipe for fougasse aux olives on page 261 I know I am going to be asked to bake!
I also want to try tian de pommes de terre – a dish similar to our scalloped potatoes – but with ingredients like gruyere cheese (YUMMY!).
I love the Pizzas, Pies and Tarts section – so many recipes to try!
Our family loves Greek food – there are recipes for moussaka, souvlakia, tzatziki…
This cookbook is an amazing resource – sure to be a favourite – and an excellent gift idea!
