Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

Ben Tish: Mediterra

Listen on

Episode notes

This week’s we’re off to the Med – yup, all of it - with chef, Ben Tish.

Ben’s latest book Mediterra follows his deep dive into bits of the Mediterranean; Moorish looked at the influence of the moors over hundreds of years on food of the Med, while his book Sicilia was a visceral guide to the street and home food of Sicily. This time, he covers the whole Mediterranean – north, south, east, west to bring us the flavours that Greece has in common with France, Lebanon with Spain, Turkey with Egypt.

Head over to Gilly's Substack for more of Ben, including a recipe from the book.
