A collection of timeless and versatile recipes inspired by the food of
the Mediterranean countries, for every day, every occasion and every
appetite.
Take a journey with through your favorite flavors from the
Mediterranean, with over 100 recipes influenced and inspired by the food
prepared and enjoyed in France, Spain, Greece, and Italy. This is
crowd-pleasing food, designed to be shared and that you will make time
and time again. ALL diners are welcome at Kathy Kordalis' table, as
traditionally, the Mediterranean diet was based on mainly vegetarian
meals and protein for celebrations, the perfect basis for a
"flexitarian" approach. In a meal-planning section there are
recommendations on how to create a meal for people with specific dietary
needs. Being mindful of seasonality and food availability is important,
but without it affecting your joy, because as well as providing
nourishment, food should bring happiness. This super-versatile recipe
collection features sauces, pickles, and ferments for the fridge and
storecupboard, recipes for easy home-made breads, seasonal vegetable
dishes (including salads, sides, and mains), fish plates from the sea
and meat plates from the land plus deliciously indulgent sweet things.
In addition, Mediterranean Summer Table is peppered with vignettes on
key Mediterranean ingredients, from olives and olive oil to honey and
saffron, to create a beautiful book for all who love to cook, and a
reference to treasure and revisit time and time again.
