The Essential Mediterranean

By: Nancy Harmon Jenkins

With The Essential Mediterranean, Nancy Harmon Jenkins continues her lifelong exploration of Mediterranean food – how it is grown, prepared, and shared around the table.  In her latest book, Ms. Jenkins introduces cooks and readers to a cluster of core ingredients and foodways that are fundamental to all of the Mediterranean’s diverse cuisines.  She shows how the Mediterranean attitude toward food – a combination of respect, integrity, enthusiasm, and sheer joy – can be cultivated across the Atlantic.
