Collectible! A Mediterranean Feast By Clifford A. Wright

Very good condition. Small stain to the back leaf and last page only. A Mediterranean Feast: The story of the birth of the celebrated cuisines of the Mediterranean, from the merchants of Venice, to the Barbary Corsaires, with more than 500 Recipes. By Clifford A. Wright PRAISE FOR A Mediterranean Feast "I always felt it would take several lifetimes to research the many facets of Mediterranean cooking-history, languages, influences, the range of culinary resourcefulness and extravagance, and the varied tastes of fourteen countries. In his monumental work, Clifford Wright has made a huge contribution. An astonishing accomplishment." —PAULA WOLFERT, author of The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean "Clifford Wright has provided us with a new standard text that will find a place on bookshelves next to such works as Larousse Gastronomique, Escoffier, Braudel, and others. But more often the book will be found on the kitchen counter, because Clifford Wright is not only an impressive scholar but a great cook. All of the dishes here are authentic, with the true, robust flavors so seductive to the modern palate. I love the way the recipes are woven through the text, so that each dish has a historical and geographical context. This book is indispensable for anybody interested in Mediterranean food or for that matter, anybody interested in history, the Mediterranean, and good food in general." -MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN, author of Mediterranean Light and Provencal ISBN: 9780688153052
