About this product

Product Information

An amazing new cookbook from Britain's favourite TV chef, exploring the many and varied cuisines of the Med. Published to accompany Rick Stein's new ten-part television series for BBC2, this new book starts where FRENCH ODYSSEY left off -at the mouth of the Rhone in the port of Marseilles. Reluctantly abandoning his idyllic canal boat, the Anjodi, Rick takes to the public ferry system which plies between the islands and coastlines of the Mediterranean.The book contains over 100 recipes divided by types of ingredient or types of dish -from mezze and tapas to calamari and couscous. Although Mediterranean food is always considered to be very healthy, by virtue of its ingredients, Rick will not shy from luxurious ice creams and sticky pastries and the book will also include basic recipes, accompaniments and sauces. He introduces the book with a diary of his gastronomic journey, recounting the many interesting characters and interesting dishes he discovered en route.Mediterranean food is first and foremost the simple cooking of simple ingredients so it translates extremely well into everyday dishes that cooks of all levels will enjoy making, and above all, eating.

    Excellent foodie joy!

    Well up to the standard of Rick Stein travel cook books. Excellent, clear recipes and pics but especially enjoy the written text describing food, people and places on the journey.

  • Most critical review

    'If you have imagination you need to use it'.

    Take the book off the shelf, open it up, look for a recipe and find yourself requiring something, a herb, a spice, a paste, possibly all three that you have NEVER heard of let alone seen in your local supermarket or even the nearest deli. At best you look for something that you hope is similar in someway-although being told something has a unique flavour can be a downer. Or you take some inspiration from it and do what I do, experiment, find your own flavours with what you can get hold of. I did take the time to go on line and two of the spices in the book I found and paid a substantial sum for that means it will be a once only experience using them. That is once they turn up. That is if they do not get lost in the Christmas avalanche of post. THE ONLY way to enjoy this book is to spend a few thousand pounds and going to these countries for a couple of months.

  • Good Mediterranean Recipes.

    Brilliant cookbook! Love all the recipes. Good value for money and deliverd quickly. Only downside was the recipe I particularly wanted (cougette fritters) wasn't in this book. My fault for choosing the wrong book. Should have checked first!

  • interesting but not for the amateur cook

    On the television he goes traveling around the mediterrranean as well as cooking food and in this book he consentrates on the cooking and I would have liked more of the travel aspect.
