Rick Stein's Mediterranean Escapes by Rick Stein

Mediterranean food is the simple cooking of simple ingredients. This book introduces with a diary of author's gastronomic journey, recounting the many interesting characters and interesting dishes he discovered en-route. It contains over 100 recipes divided by types of ingredient or types of dish - from mezze and tapas to calamari and couscous.

His repertoire of recipe books, restaurants and television programmes - not to mention an inexhaustible knowledge and infectious passion on the subject - have all helped him bring fish to the culinary forefront in the UK

For me he is the nonpareil telly chef because he always makes me drool like a slobberhound...Stein is like a plateful of smoked haddock, poached egg and mashed potatoes, a combination that is both unbeatably satisfying and fun.

-- Kathryn Flett * Observer Food Monthly *
An antipasti antidote to the greasy chips and soggy anorak of an excuse for summer that we've had to put with, every page of this book is a ray of sunshine. Beautiful photographs of bell towers in Corfu and Corsican coastlines will make you wish you were born the child of a peasant fisherman, while the food will make make you rejoice for your KitchenAid mixer and that Global knife collection. Packed full of mouth-watering delights like Sicilian rice balls with ham, peas, saffron and provolone cheese, grilled stuffed mussels from Catalonia and a decent pudding section, featuring Moroccan orange salad and a fabulous chocolate and ricotta tart, this book will transport you to where the living is easy and the cooking is simple and hearty. The summer you wished you'd had - in hardback. -- Ellie Crompton * Heat Magazine *
