Dear friend,
My love affair with the wholesome and plant-forward Mediterranean way of eating has been a long and lasting one. The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook, our first cookbook celebrating the region, debuted in 2016 and remains a fixture on best-seller lists. Based on fan mail, Iâm not alone in cooking from it regularly. Thatâs why Iâm thrilled to announce our eagerly anticipated follow-up, [More Mediterranean]( and to give you the inside story on this new collection of vibrant and exciting recipes.
We created [More Mediterranean]( with these goals in mind: • Make plant-forward meals easier than ever to create. • Develop delicious dishes inspired by all corners of the Mediterranean. • Lift the restrictions off what ingredients âfitâ into Mediterranean diet recipes.
That last goal is a big shift from our first book. Since the Mediterranean way of cooking is popular everywhere, why not expand our healthy ingredient options? Salmon, avocados, quinoa, and tofu? You bet. Given that U.S. News and World Report lists the Mediterranean diet as the healthiest diet in the world, having a brand-new collection of 225+ delicious Mediterranean-inspired recipe options is good news indeed. [More Mediterranean]( stands strong on its own or as a companion to our first book (thereâs no overlap between the two books).

[SPECIAL OFFER. Add Complete Mediterranean for JUST $15]( Eat the Mediterranean Way Every Day
All the recipes in [More Mediterranean]( are inspired by the countries that rim the Mediterranean seaâwith robust histories, diverse cultures, and distinct cuisines. We considered every ingredient fair game, whether or not it is traditional to the region. Take Spanish meatballs in a vegetarian direction with Quinoa Albóndigas and explore all kinds of applications for Mediterranean spices, topping spiralized sweet potatoes with smoky urfa biber (a dried Turkish chile) or pairing skillet-roasted chicken breasts with harissa-mint carrots.
[Animation showing pages of the book]( The Spice Pantry
Speaking of spices, the Mediterranean has always been an important spice hub. The Spice Pantry (found with other shopping and meal-planning resources in the bookâs front section) offers a comprehensive guide to spices and spice blends that add so much flavor to the bookâs recipes. We cover spices that may be new to youâranging from baharat (the most common Middle Eastern warm spice blend) and hawaij (an earthy, fragrant, bold Yemenite Jewish spice blend) to nigella seeds (these have an oniony bite and a slightly astringent, piney taste) and urfa biber (the flakes have deep, smoky, chocolaty notes). We also offer how-tos for creating your own economical spice blends. More cooking joy, more flavor, More Mediterranean [save 43%]( Building Your Plant-Forward Plate
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has embraced a simple way to understand how to eat healthy meals called MyPlate. Hereâs how it works: Aim for vegetables to be half of your meal. The next-largest section is for grains, and the smallest section is for meat. The MyPlate way of eating is very similar to the Mediterranean way of eating. Weâve structured [More Mediterranean]( with this in mind: three chaptersâMostly Plants, Mostly Grains and Beans, and Meat, Fish, Tofu & Moreâoffer a mix of dishes, from hearty salads to warm, comforting roasted meals.
Chapter 1: Mostly Plants
Recipes in this chapter are not all vegetarian, but theyâre vegetable-heavy. When animal proteins appear, theyâre good-for-you options: Some increase satiety, while some act mainly as seasonings. Here are a few of our staffâs favorites (though every recipe deserves âmost-lovedâ status).
[Eggplant and Tomato Phyllo Pie](
Eggplant and Tomato Phyllo Pie
Eggplants and tomatoes live together famously in a number of satisfying dishes across the Mediterranean. We combine the two with cheese, garlic, and fresh herbs and bake them in a shatteringly crisp phyllo crust. We offer up a technique to bring out the best flavor in your tomatoes while draining out excess moisture. Broiling the eggplant first gives it deeper flavor and a delightful char. Place the mozzarella over the crust first for a cheesy layer that keeps the bottom of the pie from getting soggy. More Mediterranean Step-by-Step: Phyllo Dough
Phyllo dough, tissue-thin layers of pastry dough used for sweet and savory pastries in Greece and the Middle East (and in this book), is familiar to anyone who has delighted in biting into baklava or spanakopita. We offer tips to make working with this delicate dough easier, including this simple tutorial for making our eggplant and tomato tart.

[Baked Pumpkin Kibbeh With Feta](
Baked Pumpkin Kibbeh With Feta
While traditionally made with beef or lamb, this vegetarian version of Middle Eastern kibbeh matches pumpkin with hearty bulgur and warm spices. A garnish of feta and toasted pine nuts adds some creaminess, tang against the squash, and crunch. Serve this satisfying meal with a simple salad for a well-rounded meal, and keep in mind that this dish makes for amazing leftovers! A Taste for the Well Traveled
Kibbeh is a staple dish of much of the Middle East, and it takes on a great number of unique forms. Kibbehâs bulk ingredients vary from region to region, and a single region could have styles of kibbeh named for different flavorings (Aleppo, Syria, alone is home to upwards of 15). They can be made with almost any cooking technique, fried until crispy, grilled, baked until tender or even cooked in a soup! [Pasta with Avocado and Broccoli](

[Chraime](
Chraime
This aromatic tomato-based fish stew was brought to Israel by Libyan and Moroccan Jewish immigrants. Libyan versions typically consist of a fiery sauce of tomato paste, hot peppers, and spices (primarily cumin, caraway and paprika), while Moroccan versions include more fresh vegetables (tomatoes and bell peppers) along with generous amounts of herbs. Our take pays homage to both: Grassy fresh jalapeños and bright Aleppo pepper bring varied heat, and tomato paste and bell pepper provide balancing sweetness. Cherry tomatoes, tossed in almost at the end of cooking, add fresh pops of sweet acidity. Ingredient Substitutions
When a recipe would work well with another main ingredient, weâll let you know in Why This Recipe Works, a test kitchen mainstay that runs at the top of all our recipes. In this case, if haddock isnât available, you can use black sea bass, cod, hake, or pollack. [Harissa Wings with Cucumber-Tomato Salad](
