Fantastic ! (and that's an understatment)
A hand-picked, superb selection of recipes from the Mediterranean. This is probably my the most frequently used cookbook, and we have a fairly large collection at home... Don't miss it!

Great introduction to the Mediterranean cuisines.
In its roughly 50 parts, all written by experienced cooks and cook book writers, HP Books' "The Book of ... Cooking" series takes you to the cuisines of various regions of the U.S. and around the world; all in easy to follow, well-explained recipes.

This installment, the Book of Mediterranean Cooking, starts with a brief introduction into the basics of the Mediterranean cuisine(s), and then presents recipe suggestions for all major courses, from soups and starters to vegetables, salads and desserts. Special chapters are dedicated to pasta, pizzas and grains, fish and shellfish, poultry and game, (red) meat and vegetarian dishes. Classics such as Basque chicken, boullabaissse, bruschetta, dolmades, eggplant dishes, couscous, Greek yogurt dip, hummus, aioli, marinated olives, pears in red wine, polenta, pork saltimbocca, ratatouille, souvlakia, spanakopitta and paella appear next to unique recipes such as baked almond mussels, fennel and lemon soup, garlic and almond soup, lavender honey ice cream, mozzarella chicken, pork and clams, red mullet in vine leaves, saffron nectarines, shrimp and feta purses, and spinach with raisins.

From afelia (coriander pork chops in white wine and cilantro sauce) and amaretti-stuffed peaches to zucchini moussaka, this collection of recipes, while not all-encompassing, is a great introduction to the richness of the various Mediterranean cuisines - and at a relative bargain price, to boot. Also recommended for fans of Mediterranean cooking: This series' installments on North African, Spanish, Greek and French provincial cooking, antipasti, pasta, light pasta sauces, and pizzas and Italian breads.
