"The genius in this cookbook lies in its approachability. It’s rare to find cookbooks where every single recipe feels like something you could integrate into your weeknight rotation. Prakash’s recipes are both straightforward and novel; she’s great at taking ingredients you likely have on hand and showing you something new to do with them." --Bon Appétit
Cook your way through 75+ simple yet tantalizing Mediterranean recipes that make the most of what’s in season.
