Description:

The countries that border the Mediterranean are exotic, alluring, and diverse, as is the multitude of Mediterranean vegetable preparations. To open this world the American kitchen, the author presents an original and comprehensive A-Z culinary reference.

Each entry describes a vegetable; explains its origins, its culinary history, how to grow it, and where to get it: and provides recipes. Never before has one book collected such a wealth of information on this topic. The vegetables include those used by home cooks every day, as well as those that are readily available but cooks often aren't sure how to prepare.

Clifford A. Wright is a food writer and scholar specializing in the cuisines of the Mediterranean. He is the author of seven cookbooks, including most recently A Mediterranean Feast, which was named James Beard Cookbook of the Year.

This is one of my absolutely favorite books. Every recipe I have tried has been excellent. I also like that there is a little info on where the recipes originated. Highly recommend this. Chefette2u

I have made 5 recipes so far from this book. Everyone I tried them on has loved every one! Hard to choose what to make next. The recipes are tasty without being rich or heavy and the ingredients are fairly healthy too. The writing style is informative and enjoyable. I like that is alphabetically arranged by vegetable and has some history and growing/harvesting information on each too -- without going overboard. Very readable and enjoyable cookbook.
