Cook your way through 75+ Mediterranean recipes that make the most of what's in season - including easy crowd-pleasers like Herby Ricotta; weeknight meals like One-Pan Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Bake; and desserts like Roasted Figs with Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt.

Mediterranean Every Day embraces a style of cooking that celebrates flavour with a relaxed, flexible attitude. It's simple enough for a mid-week meal, but never out of place for a weekend gathering with friends. Beyond the recipes, this is a book that teaches how to build a wholesome, well-stocked pantry.

Start off with an introduction to the Mediterranean style of cooking and then choose your own adventure!

Three-Ingredient (or Less) Snacks and Cocktails: Whether it's a pre-dinner snack you crave or a simple cocktail to shake up for friends, you'll find easy and fun ideas like Smoky White Bean Hummus, Za'atar Pistachios, and Honeyed Prosecco.

Salads and Soups: Enjoy creative salads like The Easiest Arugula Salad, Smoked Salmon Greek Salad, Peak-Summer Panzanella, and a must-try Nicoise. Hearty soups include Lemon Parmesan Soup with Beans and Greens and Roasted Greek Tomato Soup.

Beans, Grains, and Bready Things: This non-traditional chapter features a variety of main dish-worthy recipes that can also be served as sides. Celebrate the seasons with a Spicy Broccoli Rabe and Chickpea Skillet, Lentil Fritters with Herbed Yogurt Dip, a Cheesy Brussels Sprout and Farro Bake, and risotto ideas for winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Colourful Pastas: Who doesn't love a diet that lets you eat pasta? Enjoy feel-good pastas that are heavy on vegetables. Recipes include Brown Butter Tortellini with Spinach and Hazelnuts, Melted Broccoli Pasta with Capers and Anchovies, Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomatoes and Swordfish, Israeli Couscous Salad with Herbs, Green Olives and Pistachios, and a No-Cook Summer Tomato Pasta.

Gathering Dishes: The chapter's name says it all! Whether it's Tuesday or Saturday, and whether you're cooking for just your family or a handful of friends, gather around Salmon in Crazy Water, Thyme Pesto Roast Chicken with Crispy Potatoes, Roasted Cod Saltimbocca, and Baked Chicken Milanese with Lemony Watercress.

Desserts: Seasonal and fresh is at the heart of this chapter. Recipes include Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta, Apricot Almond Clafoutis, Rose-Soaked Peaches, and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake.

Reviews for Mediterranean Every Day: Simple, Inspired Recipes for Feel-Good Food

Sheela is uniquely attuned to the kinds of foods we crave. I want to drink a Honeyed Prosecco immediately, maybe with a side of Cacio e Pepi Farinata. For dinner, it'll definitely be the Braised Harissa Eggplant. Or maybe the Melted Broccoli Pasta? Whichever I don't eat tonight, I'll eat tomorrow. This is not simply food for dinner; this is food for life. --DAVID TAMARKIN, editor and digital director of Epicurious and author of COOK90 This gorgeous book celebrates Mediterranean flavors with recipes that will be endlessly pleasing and full of delight in your homes for years to come. --NIK SHARMA, author of The Flavor Equation and Season: Big Flavors, Beautiful Food With dishes like Pesto Pasta with Charred Radicchio, Skillet Lemon Chicken Thighs with Blistered Olives, and London Fog Affogato, Sheela stays rooted in tradition while bringing a vibrant new take to the Mediterranean table. What a great book for new and well-seasoned cooks alike. --MINDY FOX, food writer and best-selling author with Antoni Porowski of Antoni in the Kitchen
