false 1539152 1 <div><div><div>Intensely flavorful and inherently healthy, Mediterranean food is one of the world&#8217;s most appealing cuisines. Mediterranean cooks know how to make eating a pleasure. They do it simply&#8212;with olive oil and garlic; with herbs and spices; with tomatoes and eggplants, peppers and squash, figs and peaches, and other seasonal produce. And of course there is crusty bread and local cheese, the freshest yogurt and endless wine. <br><br><br><br><br><br>In this authoritative and anecdotal cookbook, award-winning author Martha Rose Shulman captures the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean region in more than 500 delicious vegetarian dishes that will appeal to everyone. The book represents years of meticulous research gleaned from Shulman&#8217;s travels through France, Spain, Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East. She presents authentic recipes handed down from mother to daughter for generations, and she offers her own contemporary variations as well. You&#8217;ll dine with her in Greek olive groves, feast on tomatoes and fresh sardines in Croatia, savor coffee gelato in the streets of Bologna. At every turn in the road there is a new culinary reward. <br><br><br><br><br><br>Whether you are a vegetarian or a dedicated meat eater, Shulman&#8217;s recipes are substantial enough to satisfy any appetite. Included are such tempting creations as Majorcan Bread and Vegetable Soup, Provençal Chick Pea Salad, Pasta with Ligurian Artichoke Sauce, Greek Cauliflower Gratin with Feta and Olives, Balkan-Style Moussaka, North African Carrot "Compote," and Sweet Dessert Couscous with Citrus and Pomegranate. There is also an entire chapter devoted to the renowned "little foods" of the Mediterranean: tapas from Spain, antipasti and merende from Italy; meze from the eastern and southern Mediterranean, and more. In addition, the book features a glossary of useful cookware and indispensable pantry staples and the best online sources for hard-to-find ingredients. <br><br><br><br><br><br>As Martha Rose Shulman herself says, "Mediterranean food enthralls me." Readers of this classic will be enthralled as well. <br><br><br><br></div></div></div> 1531308 30 10 2007 Mediterranean Harvest: Vegetarian Recipes for Everyone from the World's Healthiest Cuisine total:5|5:3|3:1|1:1| 5 19 23 1 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 24 13:17:53 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 13:20:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 17:35:33 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 17:35:50 -0800 2009 0 0 true false Fri Oct 16 16:25:49 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 20:46:44 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 01:27:58 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 01:27:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 21:02:07 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 21:02:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 13 12:52:27 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 12:52:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 09:34:07 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 09:34:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 03 18:03:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 18:03:00 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 13:33:33 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 17:16:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 04 08:40:40 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 08:40:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 03 20:56:13 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 20:56:13 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 22 04:05:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 04:05:02 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jan 11 08:07:25 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 08:07:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 27 14:02:10 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 14:02:14 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jun 05 16:29:38 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 16:29:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jun 05 20:05:59 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 02:15:45 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 20:05:59 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed May 28 08:38:01 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 08:38:01 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun May 18 12:18:40 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 12:18:46 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat May 17 15:48:50 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 15:49:04 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Mar 26 08:05:19 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 08:05:19 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1539152
