Mediterranean Feasts - Tapa dura

A fully illustrated version of Mediterranean Feasts - a core collection of beautiful, sunny Mediterranean recipes from Rose Elliot, one of our greatest healthy-eating pioneers. It contains a selection of classic summer recipes, from light, cool and refreshing dishes such as gazpacho, tasty salads such as watermelon, feta, olive and mint or fig, rocket and pine nut, to more substantial vegetarian feasts such as Turkish aubergine pilaf, Moroccan chickpea and aubergine casserole or sweet potato and pumpkin tagine. There are lots of new ideas for whipping up quick after-work suppers, snacks and light lunches, as well as tapas, barbecues and picnics all using sunny and spicy ingredients from all around the Mediterranean. All the recipes add a sprinkling of summertime back into food and prove that vegetarian really can be sexy as well as cheap. Quick, easy and simply delicious.
