The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook 500 Vibrant, Kitchen-Tested Recipes for Living and Eating Well Every Day by America’s Test Kitchen

Author: America’s Test Kitchen

Bring the Mediterranean—from Italy and Greece, to Morocco and Egypt, to Turkey and Lebanon—into your kitchen with more than 500 fresh, flavorful recipes. This comprehensive cookbook translates the famously healthy Mediterranean diet for home cooks with a wide range of creative recipes, many fast enough to be made on a weeknight, using ingredients available at your local supermarket.

The structure of the book follows the guidelines of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. You’ll find large chapters devoted to Beans and to Vegetables, the Seafood Chapter is larger than Poultry and Meat, and the Fruits and Sweets chapter, while shorter, is packed with recipes you can truly feel good eating.

Recipes include Spiced Baked Rice with Potatoes and Fennel, Tagliatelle with Artichokes and Parmesan, Orzo with Shrimp, Feta, and Lemon, Za’atar-Rubbed Chicken, Greek-Style Braised Pork with Leeks, and Orange Polenta Cake.

This is probably my favorite cookbook I’ve ever bought. Great pictures, clear instructions, lots of background and nutritional info. Claire                                                                                                     rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

For a cookbook with plenty of delicious-looking recipes, look no farther. These Mediterranean recipes encompass many different nationalities of cooking. Even if you didn’t grow up eating some of these, they look familiar. They also look doable. The Mediterranean diet is based on fresh produce, olive oil, fish and local meats, and simple sweets. There are a few internationally-centric ingredients but you shouldn’t have to look too hard to find them. America’s Test Kitchen did this cookbook right. Very few of the recipes require turning a page to complete the instructions. The photos are small, but helpful. I’ll be purchasing this cookbook (I always check them out from the library first) and will enjoy using it regularly Kym                                                                                                       rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

This book has the best green vegetable recipes I have ever tasted. I’m very impressed. Debra Byrd                                                                                             rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Oh man. This is the BEST cookbook ever. It’s easy to use, practical, and filled with stunning photos. I’m looking forward to years and years of fun testing out the various recipes. A dream come true.
