We've already discovered many new favorites among the abundance of recipes offered in this book. The sidebars and other accompanying notes on Mediterranean food and culture are also fascinating, and the author evenhandedly covers the entire region, with dishes representing Spain, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Although I'm not personally that interested in the antipasti or hors d'oeurves sections, and will probably never prepare any of the more exotic recipes (I'll pass on the pan-fried lambs' testicles, thanks), there are so many other good recipes that I can say I find this book indispensible.
This is an absolutely worthwhile cookbook for anyone who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine. I was surprised that another reviewer gave it a low rating because it was not "heart-friendly" enough. It's true that many of the recipes call for dairy products, eggs, or meat, but many of them can be easily adapted with healthier substitutions, and there are numerous healthy vegetarian or vegan recipes if you look for them.
