Along the shores of the Mediterranean, people share a love of good
food, especially when it's prepared simply and enjoyed with family and
friends.
The region's cuisines celebrate fresh vegetables, legumes, seafood and
olives, making Mediterranean cooking a healthful choice for everyone.
From Spanish tapas and Italian pastas to Greek souvlaki, the dishes of
Southern Europe have become Canadian family favourites, as have the
falafel, tabbouleh, tagine and couscous recipes of the Middle East and
North Africa. The food experts in the Canadian Living Test Kitchen have
collected more than 90 of their favourite Tested-Till-Perfect recipes
inspired by Mediterranean cuisine and tailored to Canadian families. In
this compact, budget-friendly edition, there are soups and salads,
appetizers and mains, pasta and rice recipes--plus desserts. The recipes
include easy weeknightfriendly meals and elegant dishes for
entertaining, along with fundamentals such as homemade pasta that let
home cooks develop their own specialties.
Throughout the book, Canadian Living's food specialists share tips,
tricks and techniques to ensure that every recipe turns out as perfectly
at home as it did in the Test Kitchen.
