Overview
If you’re among the throngs adopting the Mediterranean Diet, you’ve seen lots of new recipes for ultra-healthy salads, bowls, and low-in-saturated-fats main courses. Where, you ask, is dessert? It is a good question—not just because you crave a sweet indulgence now and then, but also because in the real Mediterranean, where people live long and healthy lives, dessert is an essential part of the meal, and sweets are woven into the daily routine.
In Sweet Mediterranean Baking, one of the world’s leading authorities on Mediterranean cooking and baking, Amy Riolo, serves up more than 75 authentic and incredibly tasty recipes from all across the Mediterranean. An avid baker since the age of three, Amy has studied local cooking traditions in the region for decades, earning global recognition—from Italy to Egypt, Turkey to Morocco, and beyond—as an expert on the topic. In this fun, colorful book, she shares her kitchen-perfected, mouthwateringly good sweet treats, including:
- Cookies for holidays and every day, such as Anise Biscotti from Italy and Greek Walnut and Honey Cookies
- Breakfast and snack breads like Spanish Milk Rolls (Pan de Leche) and Italian Custard Cream-Filled Brioche
- Spectacular cakes, from a Moroccan Yogurt and Pistachio Cake to a Vanilla and Roasted Plum Cake with Mascarpone Gelato
- Puddings, Clafoutis, and Flans, including Spanish Pumpkin Flan and Provencal Plum Clafoutis
- Iconic treats, such as a French Christmas Log (Buche de Noel) and Classic Greek Walnut and Cinnamon Baklava
Along the way, Amy shares fascinating stories about the histories of these dishes and how they are cooked in homes today, along with expert tips, tricks, and wisdom that ensure perfect-every-time results.
With so many delicious options, you will never cook Mediterranean food again without a magnificent sweet treat to finish the meal.
