Mediterranean Cookbook – A Great Gift Idea!

 

I recently received this beautiful cookbook from the DK Gift Boutique

Title: Mediterranean Cookbook
Author: Marie-Pierre Moine, Elisabeth Luard and Ghillie Basan
ISBN: 9781465417619
Publisher: Dorling Kindersley
Price: $37.00

 

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:

• Middle East
• North Africa
• Morocco
• Portugal
• Spain
• France
• Italy
• Sicily
• Greece
• Turkey

I love the extra resources included in this cookbook:

• Essential Olives and Olive Oil
• Essential Lemons and Oranges
• Essential Tomatoes
• Essential Spices
• Essential Peppers

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:

• Mezze, Tapas, and Antipasti
• Soups
• Eggs
• Pasta, Rice, and Beans
• Fish and Shellfish
• Meat and Poultry
• Pizzas, Pies, and Tarts
• Vegetables, Herbs, and Salads
• Breads and Bread Dishes
• All Things Sweet

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!
