What! a! joy!!! Bouillabaisse, clafoutis, mjadra, focaccia - woven with stories of where, who, why - it’s incredible。 The photography is beautiful (and I’m not referring to the food styling, which is also lovely)。 I’m captivated by the grace in her writing, and found myself staring at her portrait (in her library) just feeling very much in awe of her life。 I’ve read the recipes, and they have the relaxed but confident tone that remind me of my own mother, and grandmother (I’m sure these recipes What! a! joy!!!

A Tour of the MediterraneantOverviewtToo often。 when we think of Mediterranean cuisine we think of Italian and Greek cooking。 Claudia Roden expands that view and reminds us that Mediterranean cuisine includes so many other countries each with their own deep, rich culinary cultures and histories!! This cookbook features dishes from Spain, France, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey to name a few and, yes, of course from Italy and Greece。 The book feels like a cruise vacation around the Mediterranean and though A Tour of the MediterraneantOverviewtToo often。 when we think of Mediterranean cuisine we think of Italian and Greek cooking。 Claudia Roden expands that view and reminds us that Mediterranean cuisine includes so many other countries each with their own deep, rich culinary cultures and histories!! This cookbook features dishes from Spain, France, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey to name a few and, yes, of course from Italy and Greece。 The book feels like a cruise vacation around the Mediterranean and though it features recipes from different countries , Roden highlights the commonality as well as the differences in the cuisines。 The CookbooktThe book begins with a lovely introduction to the author’s background, experiences and point of view。 The Chapters are Appetizers, Soups, Salad and cold vegetable dishes, With grain, Seafood and shellfish (interesting distinction here), Meat and poultry, and Desserts and pastries。Th book is well indexed so that a cook can find recipes based on ingredients that they may wish to cook or have on hand。 The recipes are intended for the home cook for weeknight cooking or for company。 Most recipes have photos attached and those that don’t really need a photo such as Roast Summer Vegetables or Chicken with White Wine。RecipestI was drawn to the Citrus Salad with Greens from Taormina, Sicily because my father often spoke of salad made from grapefruit and oranges which are abundant there。 It was so easy and refreshing and felt authentic。 The Chicken Baked with Olives and Boiled Lemons from Marrakesh was so easy and though some cooks may not keep Turmeric on hand, the ingredients were all pantry staples or easy to find。 tFor me this cookbook is the vacation that I have been meaning to take but haven’t yet !I’ve accepted a free copy from Ten Speed Press in exchange for a free and unbiased review。 。。。more
