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.
*Jay Rayner*
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 Times/Sunday Times, Food Book of the Year*
The recipes are wonderful, they are given space and time [...] It's
a book for cooks.
*BBC Radio 4 The Food Programme*
A bible of classic and comforting dishes that will prove to be the
foundations of any cook's kitchen.
