This book is simply amazing. I got this book because I wanted a general overview of Mediterranean cooking after having lived in Italy for 3 years. I have made several of the recipes in this book and they are simply fantastic. This book is good because a) there are pictures of every recipe and pictures of all the ingredients in the recipe as well as pictures of preparation, b) several recipes use the same "exotic" ingredients, so you're not stuck with a bag full of whatever like you are with other cookbooks, and c) the recipes in some cases have been streamlined and simplified to suit our cooking habits today, for instance the author will have you use ready made stock.

The wonderful flavors and the variety presented in this book are enough for me such that I can eat a larger variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. There are recipes from the Basque country, France, Italy, Greece, North Africa... This is a very comprehensive cookbook that covers all of my tastebuds!!!

Like the other titles in these series, this book is terrific. Each recipe has easy-to-follow instructions, and a photo of the finished dish. The fresh ingredients ensure tasty,popular meals. I really enjoy using this book.

This colorful cookbook has an easy to read format with photos for every recipe! In the beginning of the book the importance of ingredients used are explained. There are a lot of very creative & tasty recipes to please all your family members! Some unusual recipes such as "pomegranate sorbet," "Lavendar Honey Ice Cream," "Baked Almond Mussels," "Monkfish Kebabs" & more are well worth the effort. I highly recommend this cookbook your family & friends will enjoy these tasty recipes!
