1000 Mediterranean Meals: Every Recipe You Need for the Healthiest Way to Eat (1000 Meals) 

by Valentina Harris
Each recipe shows how you could add a twist to the basic recipe, with different ingredients.
Marinated Manchego.
Vibrant colors almost like art work. You can get some ideas on elevating the food by curating the plates. For example silvery boquerones on a matching plate.
White cheese adds as a foil or a good backdrop for other colors to shine.
I dont think I have ever considered soup at a Greek restaurant.
Lebanese Fatoush salad looks very interesting with cubed pita bread. I might try this with roti. Its softer counterpart is Panzanella with soaked stale bread.
Tempted to make the pita bread.
If you love the Lebanese Pizza with zaatar at Costco, you might lean towards making this pizza recipe.
Pizzettes are so cool.
While you might equate Marinara with tomato sauce, this book lets you in on the history of Marinara Pizza meaning sailor's Pizza offered to sailors after returning from sea. You could make Marinara Pizzettes for your little pirates.

Circassian Chicken.
Shrimp Fritters.
Almond Icecream is easy enough. Worth trying.
Egyptian Sweet Couscous reminds me of a sweet dish my grandmother made with broken rice.
Icecream panettone is cool.

My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage.
