I do enjoy free-form cooking, but I have a few cherished cookbooks. My collection of cookbooks is small. On purpose. I only purchase books that I know will inspire me and support my family’s lifestyle. And of course, I purchase cookbooks that I can take to bed at the end of a long day. What? You don’t do that?! You don’t thumb through pages of food-inspired stories and mouthwatering images until you fall asleep, only to dream of your next delightful recipe?! For those who do… And for all the home cooks who love to create something simple and new, here is a list of my current favorite cookbooks for a Mediterranean diet (and by diet I mean lifestyle):
Mediterranean Cookbooks and Mediterranean Diet Cookbooks
Mediterranean Cookbook; Editor in Chief Marie- Pierre Moine. Read my full review on this cookbook. My Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories; David Lebovitz Jerusalem: A Cookbook; Yotam Ottlenghi and Sami Tamimi Ottolenghi: The Cookbook; Yotam Ottlenghi and Sami Tamimi Little Foods of the Mediterranean; Clifford Wright. This is an oldie-but-goodie; I’ve owned it since 2004! And two more books which I will soon be reviewing here on the blog: Rose Water and Orange Blossoms; Maureen Abood. Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking; Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey; Laila El-Haddad As my cookbook collection grows, I promise to share more with you.
