Healthy
Mediterranean cookery made easy by Claudia Roden
Mediterranean
food is popular all over the world. The Mediterranean diet - rich
in grains, vegetables, pulses, fruit and nuts, with little meat,
plenty of fish, and olive oil as the main fat - has long been adopted
as a model of healthy eating. And not only is it healthy but it
has a strong sensual appeal full of rich flavours, aromas and colours
which can be adopted for everyday cooking and entertaining.
In
Foolproof Mediterranean Cookery, award-winning author Claudia Roden
brings you forty delicious recipes from the region. Savour the sunny
flavours of Spain with Andalusian Gazpacho, or enjoy the French
romance of Provencal Prawns and the exotic spices of Morocco in
Chicken with Tomatoes and Honey.
All
the dishes use readily available ingredients and there's even a
special menu section at the back of the book to help you plan your
own culinary journey.
With
clear, easy-to-follow methods and colour photographs accompanying
each stage of the recipes, Claudia Roden's foolproof instructions
guarantee both absolute beginners and experienced cooks the authentic
taste of the Mediterranean.
Claudia
says, "The recipes I picked for this book are some of the favourites
I enjoyed on my travels and which I like to make at home. Dishes
such as these, which have a history and are part of an old culture
and tradition, have a special charm".
