Notes about this book

  • mjes on August 23, 2022

    Olive oil-bathed green beans and tomatoes (pg. 160). I tried but I just couldn't do it - cook the beans as long as the recipe calls for. Yes, I read the comments about the Arab habit of cooking green beans until very soft, but I still couldn't bring myself to ruin the beautiful beans. I settled on about 30 minutes, softer than I would normally cook them but still having a little bite left. Tomatoes, garlic, and onion are cooked with the beans making a very tasty combination. I will certainly repeat this recipe and continue to ignore the recipe on cooking time.

Mediterranean food expert and James Beard Award winner Clifford Wright presents a mouth-watering collection of recipes for tapas, mezze, antipasti, and other small plates traditional across the Mediterranean region.

The Mediterranean region shares a love of bold flavor and fresh ingredients. Mediterranean Small Plates takes you on a culinary journey, showing you how each country uses the foundational ingredients of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, onions, and fresh herbs to develop their own unique range of flavors and textures.

In addition to being beautiful to behold and delicious to eat, a diet of Mediterranean dishes has been scientifically linked to good health, including increased life span, improved brain function, better eye health, lower risk of certain cancers, decreased risk of heart disease and diabetes, and reduced inflammation. With small plates, you can easily share an adventurous, flavorful variety of these healthy foods with family and friends.

Filled with stunning photography and easy-to-prepare recipes to serve and savor, Mediterranean Small Platesmakes every meal a celebration.
