Mediterra: Recipes from the Islands and Shores of the Mediterranean
"Simple, seasonal, and heartfelt. Count me in, Ben." -Yotam Ottolenghi
From the beloved author of Sicilia, more than a hundred mouth-watering Mediterranean dishes from Spain to Syria and everywhere in between Across the Mediterranean, one delicious cuisine gives way to the next. From Spain and Italy, through Greece and Turkey and down to North Africa, the region is rich with deeply delicious food. In Mediterra, renowned chef and author Ben Tish gives the tour of a lifetime. With seven-spice falafel from Lebanon, pork belly gyros from Greece, classic tiramisu from Italy, and grilled smoky sardines from Crete, the full flavors of the region are on glorious display for recipes that work across diets and seasons. But while each country has its own unique dishes and distinct cultures, there is a distinct Mediterranean signature that brings them all together: hot summers, dry winters, coastal briny winds, alfresco eating, street markets, sacrosanct meal times, and bringing the best out of as many local seasonal ingredients as possible. In this mouthwatering collection, Ben Tish creates outstanding simple, modern recipes whose flavors transport you across the Mediterranean sea with minimal effort in the kitchen, delivering the flavors, sights, and smells right to your own table.Book Details

"[An] inviting and wide-ranging volume ... the flavors are never less than sharp and attractive. Home cooks are sure to be inspired." --Publishers Weekly
"One of those fabulous cookbooks that is as fun to simply browse through as it is inspiring to plan memorable menus with. Exceptionally well organized and thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly' in presentation, Mediterra is unreservedly recommended as a particularly prized pick for personal, family, professional, and community library cookbook collections." --Midwest Book Review "Ben takes us across the Mediterranean and then back to his table. From Italy to Tunisia, Croatia to Morocco, capturing the heart of Mediterranean cooking. Simple, seasonal, and heartfelt. Count me in, Ben." --Yotam Ottolenghi "You probably think you don't need another book about Mediterranean food, but you need this one. I leaf through Ben's books thinking 'I want to make that, and that, and that!' His food is rich, intense and alive." --Diana Henry "Not only is Ben's Mediterra a beautiful book, but it is so well researched, with mouth-watering, accessible recipes." --Georgina Hayden "The book explores the island through its food, taking in traditional dishes, both simple and extravagant, as well as recipes that he has created, inspired by the sun-soaked Mediterranean way of life." --Times Magazine on SICILIA "This book delivers the perfect balance of approachable weeknight meals ... and showstoppingweekend projects ... Paradiso!" --Real Simple, Best Cookbooks of the Year, on SICILIA "Ben Tish shines a brilliant light on a wonderfully seductive (and often overlooked) facet of Mediterranean food culture: through his own personal lens he brings together history, spice and delectable recipes in an absolutely beautiful cookbook. I long to eat everything!" --Skye McAlpine on MOORISH
