About Mediterranean Recipes — Fresh, Light Dishes

Mediterranean cooking shares a common foundation — olive oil, fresh vegetables, legumes, grains, and seafood — but expresses it differently across dozens of cultures. Greek, Lebanese, Spanish, Turkish, and North African kitchens each have their own approach to the same core ingredients.

What unites these recipes is freshness, balance, and simplicity. Heavy sauces and lengthy prep give way to good produce, quality oil, and restrained seasoning. Light enough for summer, satisfying enough for any time of year.
