Book Reviews of Mediterranean Light
Book Review: A Hit-and-Miss Introduction to Mediterranean Cuisine
Summary: 3 Stars
This was the only cookbook I took with me on an extended trip to Greece, and in some respects it was a good choice. I found tons of recipes here for the types of wonderful ingredients I found in the open-air markets there, and many of the dishes were excellent--the pizza dough alone is worth taking a look at Mediterranean Light for, not to mention the Turkish style cornbread. Many of the dishes, however, have proved disappointing in practice. Her Moroccan-style shrimp with cumin overwhelmed the delicate shrimp with too-heavy spicing, a real let-down after all the fussing with shrimp-shell stock this recipe required. Other dishes required too much fussing for very simple results--notably a chicken soup requiring three days of preparation! Others required such shortcuts or compromises that they were guaranteed disappointments; instead of stewing a chicken with vegetables and seasonings for her avgolemeno, Shulman dumps some eggs and lemon into a pre-cooked broth. The good dishes here, like a lovely low-fat hummus which I make regularly, are very good indeed; but the reader should be aware that many recipes in this collection will not live up to their promise on the page.
