Mediterranea

Life-perfected Recipes from Grandmothers of the Mediterranean

By Anastasia Miari

Mediterranea is a delicious deep-dive into the kitchens of the Med's most qualified cooks: its grandmothers.

A colourful, sensory journey through the coastal region, this book is a celebration of one of the best food cultures of the world, packed with beautiful location photography to boot – think stunning pasta dishes from Sicily, classic desserts from the Côte d'Azur, Croatia's best fish dishes, fresh and vibrant Turkish salads and Greece's best vegetable-rich one pots, all served with the fascinating back stories of the grandmothers who have perfected these age-old recipes, and pearls of wisdom that only come with a life well lived.

As visually engaging as it is mesmerising and heart-warming, Mediterranea is a true portrait of an incredible food culture, and the matriarchs that have shaped it.
