Description

"Simple, seasonal, and heartfelt. Count me in, Ben." -Yotam Ottolenghi

From the beloved author of Sicilia, more than a hundred mouth-watering Mediterranean dishes from Spain to Syria and everywhere in between

Across the Mediterranean, one delicious cuisine gives way to the next. From Spain and Italy, through Greece and Turkey and down to North Africa, the region is rich with deeply delicious food. In Mediterra, renowned chef and author Ben Tish gives the tour of a lifetime. With seven-spice falafel from Lebanon, pork belly gyros from Greece, classic tiramisu from Italy, and grilled smoky sardines from Crete, the full flavors of the region are on glorious display for recipes that work across diets and seasons.

But while each country has its own unique dishes and distinct cultures, there is a distinct Mediterranean signature that brings them all together: hot summers, dry winters, coastal briny winds, alfresco eating, street markets, sacrosanct meal times, and bringing the best out of as many local seasonal ingredients as possible. In this mouthwatering collection, Ben Tish creates outstanding simple, modern recipes whose flavors transport you across the Mediterranean sea with minimal effort in the kitchen, delivering the flavors, sights, and smells right to your own table.

Mediterranean cuisine is having a much deserved moment! And I could not be happier.


Ben Tish has gathered stories, recipes and gorgeous photos, in one place for all of us. The recipes aren’t crazy, they are quite achievable for the home cook.
I tried a few and they are delicious. Which ones were my favorite?
Lebanese seven spice falafel, pork belly gyros, and lentils with pumpkin.


All were very simple but delicious. Lovely book.

Mediterra is a beautiful and inviting cookbook into Mediterranean cuisine across four regions. The dishes use a wide range of ingredients, and I think there is a recipe in here for anyone. There are salads, grilled dishes, pastas, soups, and baked goods.

We made two mouthwatering recipes from this amazing book: Grilled Steaks on Toast
with caramelised onions, red peppers and melting cheese. Asparagus, Ricotta and Mint. The instructions were easy to follow and created fresh tasting, flavorful meals!

Mediterra captures the essence of Mediterranean food. love cookbooks that transport you to somewhere else - and this one does! Beautiful photos and lovely recipes. The measurements are in metric so that may be troublesome for some American cooks, though I think the conversion is worth it.

"Mediterra" is a comprehensive cookbook on the Mediterranean region. The photographs are beautiful and the recipes are easy to follow! The book is divided into regions with a description of each of the region's unique characteristics. A must have cookbook for anyone who is interested in the foods of the Mediteranean region or is interested in learning new recipes from another part of the world. Thank you Netgalley for the preview of this new cookbook.

Mediterra is a beautiful cookbook full of wonderful recipes from the more unusual to the everyday! It is very authentic but not inaccessible.
I have already made the Greek Salad and Tiramisu from this book and I can tell you that the tiramisu recipe is simple and delicious!
