Everyday Mediterranean Kitchen

Dinner does not need a long ingredient list or a free afternoon. This cookbook gives you 46 simple recipes built around vegetables, beans, lentils and fish, with olive oil, lemon and herbs doing the seasoning. Each recipe lists servings, preparation and cooking times, metric quantities and numbered steps, and the fish recipes tell you what to look for. You also get a pantry guide, a plain method for stretching or shrinking portions, clear notes on storing and reheating leftovers, a sample week of meals and a quick reference of substitutions and timings. It suits cooks who want weeknight food that feels light and satisfying, uses ordinary equipment and adapts to whoever turns up at the table.
