Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts

Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts presents 150 simple yet abundantly flavorful recipes for Mediterranean vegetarian dishes. Aglaia Kremezi, author of the award-winning The Foods of Greece, explores vegetarian cooking across the entire Mediterranean region. The book recognizes that many traditional Mediterranean diet dishes are naturally meat-free. The collection opens with detailed descriptions of essential ingredients and basic preparations for seasonal shopping at farmers' markets. Recipes span meze and soups through mains and desserts, including Toasted Red Lentil and Bulgar Patties, Roasted Cauliflower with Zahter Relish, Pseudo-Moussaka, Quince Stuffed with Wheat Berries, Nuts, and Raisins, and Rose Petal and Yogurt Mousse. Kremezi provides master recipes for spice, nut, and herb mixtures, sauces, jams, and pastes inspired by eastern Mediterranean and North African traditions. These components are designed to transform vegetables and grains into complete dishes.
