Description

The #1 best-selling modern classic—America’s Test Kitchen’s indispensable guide to the life-changing Mediterranean diet, with more than 600,000 copies sold

The famed Mediterranean diet is more than just a regional cuisine, it’s food at its best: the variety of bright flavors and tastes, the health benefits, and the simple, uncomplicated dishes. America’s Test Kitchen makes it easy to eat healthy, with over 500 kitchen-tested recipes from across the Mediterranean.

Inside:

Beyond Greece & Italy: You’ll find a deeper variety of dishes from countries all around the Mediterranean Sea, including Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco

Build Your Plate, Mediterranean Style: Learn to build meals that put the focus on the healthiest food first. You'll find large, plant-forward chapters devoted to Beans and to Vegetables, and more space is devoted to Seafood than to Poultry and Meat

Mediterranean Mainstays: Detailed information on wholesome ingredients found in every supermarket is included throughout the book, from olive oil to whole grains, spice blends, plus a variety of seafood. Guides to meal planning, entertaining, and pantry building are also included

Quick & Healthy: Many recipes are ready in 45 minutes or less—perfect for busy weeknights

Nutrition First: Not only does every recipe have nutritional guidelines, but we also set specific nutritional goals (e.g. every fish recipe is less than 750 calories, with fewer than 8.5g of saturated fat)

Praise for The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook: 500 Vibrant, Kitchen-Tested Recipes for Living and Eating Well Every Day (The Complete ATK Cookbook Series)

"More than 6,000 Amazon shoppers have sung its praises, with one commenting, 'This is without a shadow of a doubt the best cook book I have ever owned.' It doesn't get more glowing than that, folks.” -- USA Today

"America’s Test Kitchen has created the definitive guide to Mediterranean cooking. Although brimming with amazing recipes, this cookbook has so much more. This book opens with a concise overview of the Mediterranean diet and meal planning. The authors proceed to five-hundred mouth-watering recipes that require mostly easily obtained ingredients and cover every aspect of the meal...Many of the recipes are vegetarian and are clearly marked as such, as are quickly prepared recipes. Almost more significantly, the text is simply packed with additional information. The notes dispersed through the book contain valuable information for those wishing to ensure a good outcome and learn more about the intricacies of choosing ingredients and cooking techniques. The large, glossy pictures of the finished product typically found in cookbooks are traded for smaller pictures of the end product and important preparation details. Furthermore, nutritional information for all recipes is contained in an easily read chart at the end of the book. For those looking for the one book they need to master Mediterranean cooking, this is it." -- San Francisco Book Review

"If you are a fan of PBS and have been able to view even one episode of America’s Test Kitchen, you probably realize how seriously the chefs and staff take the preparation of a recipe to produce a satisfying result... The new addition to their award-winning books is “The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook” and is comprehensive in the selection of 500 recipes in categories ranging from Tapas and Small Plates to the Fruits and Sweets at the end of the meal—a total of 12 chapters to enjoy. If you are thinking of adding a cookbook to your kitchen shelf, ”The Mediterranean Cookbook” may be the one for you.  The colorful cover of this book can make your mouth water, but a test of one of the recipes could produce an amazing meal for you and others to enjoy!" -- Westmont Publich Library

"'The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook' tops our list [of the 10 best mediterranean cookbooks in 2022] thanks to its 500-recipe collection and supplemental meal planning suggestions, recipe tags for quick or vegetarian meals, essential pantry ingredients, and more.' -- The Spruce Eats

"To score the top spot on Amazon’s list of best-selling Mediterranean diet cookbooks, you have to be good. This one is packed with 500 (!!) different recipes from all over the Mediterranean—Italy, Greece, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey—that have been tried and tested by the foodie pros at America's Test Kitchen. Another reason it's a top pick? 'It includes suggestions for recipe pairings to make a complete meal, which can help with your weekly meal planning,' says nutritionist Alissa Rumsey, RD." -- Women's Health
