Reviews for The Forest Feast Mediterranean

[bookscookslooks · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I keep looking through this cookbook because it is so very beautiful. I have never encountered a cookbook quite as enchanting; it is full of photos and charming illustrations for all of the recipes. In addition there are stunning travel photos from the countries that inspired the recipes in the book. Each turn of the page brings a new delight with a delicious looking recipe and a gorgeous photo to inspire you.

There are several recipes I can’t wait to try including this one for green beans. I have so many coming in right now it will be nice to try something new with them. All of the recipes in the book are vegetarian and they all look amazing. There is one for a gnocchi and cauliflower casserole that I can’t wait to try. I just need a full day in the kitchen to make homemade gnocchi again. Although there is an intriguing recipe in this book for ricotta gnocchi.

All of the recipes look to be full of flavor and easy to make. The book is built on “small plates” which is my favorite way of eating. A little of this, a little of that. It’s a marvelous way to have a dinner party. Put out a wide selection of different foods and just let everyone dig in. THIS is the book for that kind of party. Lots of options, lots of flavors.

This is going to end up one of my go/to cookbooks going forward.
