'You probably think you don't need another book about Mediterranean food, but you need this one. I leaf through Ben's books thinking 'I want to make that, and that, and that!'. His food is rich, intense and alive.' - Diana Henry

Across the Mediterranean, one delicious food influence gives way to the next. From Spain and Italy, through Greece and Turkey, down to North Africa, the Med is a rich seam of deeply delicious food. While each country has its own unique dishes and distinct cultures, there is a commonality that brings the Med together - hot summers, dry winters, coastal briny winds, alfresco eating, street markets, sacrosanct meal times and making the best of seasonal ingredients and produce, often in the simplest way.

Ben Tish, author of Moorish and Sicilia, is an expert on the food and flavours of this vibrant region. With effortless tricks and inspiring storytelling, Ben brings the flavours, sights and smells of this iconic coastline to life. These are the recipes that Ben loves to share with friends and family, from the eastern shores of Turkey and Syria, to the islands of Sardinia and Crete, and the northern reaches of Slovenia and Croatia. Mediterra will transport you to the Med with minimal effort in the kitchen.
