Mediterranean families hand down these recipes so each generation can help the next endure the dark times, celebrate joys, and give everyday comfort to one another. We need this now more than ever — which is why I’ve assembled this free, online cookbook. Bon appetit, ju bëftë mirë, καλή όρεξη, and buon appetito​!

​​​“A culinary exploration of each area's unique contribution … served up with a dash of wit that made me laugh even as I took notes about what dish to try next."  Dru Pearson, author of Europe on a Dime

If you’re wondering where to start, take a look at Carlotta’s Italian risotto with sausage from Chapter 23. It's easy, gluten-free, delicious, and adaptable for vegans. I make it all the time, and everyone loves it!

​ABOUT THE RECIPES 
Picture
​I gathered many recipes and their backstories during The Great Mediterranean Comfort Food Tour. Through five months in ten countries, I took notes and videos, and interviewed cooks in their kitchens. Many spoke English, but sometimes I was working through an online translation program, which can be a pretty slippery business. I strove for accuracy, but measurements were usually by eye or hand; almost nobody ever reached for a measuring cup or scale. Some ingredients were subtly different than those we'd find at home. If you make any of these recipes and have photos or adaptations to share, I'd love to hear from you.  Email me here: EnjoyLivingAbroad@gmail.com
