With its focus on Mediterranean cuisine and loads of fresh flavor, those who love pine nuts and chickpeas will find plenty to drool over in these pages. (And for those who aren’t familiar with Mediterranean ingredients, a handy directory what exactly those ingredients are prefaces the recipes.) Each dish also features Sophie’s notes on how it’s best served and possible substitutions that can be made. You can almost taste the full-color photographs! The sections–Sauces & Flavorings, Appetizers & Snacks, Desserts & Drinks, etc.–are ushered in by scenes of local markets, docks, and landscapes, so it’s not hard to imagine yourself sampling the cuisine in a sunny street-side café. ¡Bellisimo!
