I could not love this book more. A palpable instant classic, infused with wisdom, generosity and achievable deliciousness. Every page feels like a blessing.
Claudia Roden is the queen of all cookbook writers. Med is a beautiful book brimming with wisdom and exquisite good taste.
Always known for being true to original dishes, in Med the veteran cookery writer Claudia Roden has allowed herself a little more freedom than usual, homing in on the recipes of coastal Spain, France, Italy and north Africa. The result is a book of simple recipes that Roden cooks for friends and family - as well as a record of her long love affair with the cuisines of the Mediterranean.
The recipes are wonderful, they are given space and time [...] It's a book for cooks.
