Beautiful pics and inspiring recipes. There are several that I can’t wait to try! Many thanks!!!
Thank you for these recipes! They all look delicious! Can’t wait to get busy and make them!
Oh my goodness – not to repeat what most folks said, but these all look AMAZING – can’t wait to cook my way through the lot! 🙂
What a wonderful selection! Our friends are moving towards a Mediterranean style cooking style. These recipes will help jump-start this effort! Thank you.
These Receipes look fabulous ! I’m definitely going to be busy cooking !
Thank you! Every one of these recipes looks amazing. Can’t wait to work my way through them.
This comes from a Southern lady who grew up on Southern food who is wanting to change her sweet tea ways; not that I cooked the Southern fare. In fact, I’m a terrible cook. But seriously, I am trying to change my diet and lifestyle away from sugar and to fruits and veggies. So I look at these recipes and I might as well be reading a foreign language book: an African based chile, bulgar, date paste, coriander, food processor… I appreciate variety but I need simple. Not recipes with ingredients I will never use again or don’t even know what to do with them. I know the purpose of this segment was Mediterranean but you asked for Comments and after reading through the recipes this was my take away.
I agree, J! I would need to go to a Whole Foods or similar to find some of these ingredients. I don’t have the budget for that unless I can find several other recipes that use those same ingredients and eat them within the week. My local Publix is severely lacking in the produce department. They didn’t even have avocados or sweet potatoes last time I was there. Forget about Tahini and Harissa lol
Hi J Myers! I think that you will find, if you read the recipes again, that there are ingredients that are unfamiliar to you. All the ingredients the FOK’s recipes use, are found quite easily in most grocery stores. They are just new to you and if tried, could open up a world of new and exciting flavors for your palate! I hope you give it a try, because you may be pleasantly surprised.
Thanks so much for this beautiful roundup of Mediterranean dishes!! Can’t wait to try so many!!
Zoe R, it depends on where you live. In some small Southern towns, it’s hard to get even the things most people in bigger cities call ‘basics.’ Cornmeal, yes. Polenta, not a chance. Collards, yes. Anything else? Not very likely. Iceberg lettuce, yes. Arugula? What in the world is THAT? Romaine? Maybe…. 🙂
