The Full Color Version<\/a> (heavy paper and amazing photos; the Black & White version<\/a> (all the same information on lighter stock with no color); the E-Book Version<\/a> (full color customized to an electronic format)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorgeous photos! Gorgeous recipes! Intimate writing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unbelievably detailed study of cookie recipes (well over 200!) collects recipe, wisdom, and history ranging from Spain, Portugal, and their global offspring, through France, Italy (almost half the book!), Greece, the Balkans, the Middle East, and then back across the southern shores to again reach Gibraltar. Recipe sources range from those found in every country, like classic butter cookies, to particular cities and islands, each and every one carefully and lovingly tested despite the cost in inches gained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the best book ever written for anyone who wants to explore the baking traditions of their Mediterranean ancestors, or to simply go on a culinary tour of these fascinating lands and their history. The cradle of Western civilization seen over the shoulder of your Grandma learning in the kitchen from her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only complaint? \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you split this up into 3-4 separate works? Italy alone would have been a tome\u2026\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer? \u201cThen you wouldn\u2019t see the history, and the patterns that form from north to south, and east to west. Did you know that Sicilian Cuccidatti<\/span> are a western version of Middle Eastern Ma\u2019amoul<\/span>? And that all those Spanish and Spanish-American Shortbreads share\u2026? And how the Croatian version of Rapunzel created magical recipes in her tower, such as\u2026? And the cookie tradition of Persian New Year? The common patterns and unique creations sliding from the Balkans, through Greece, and Turkey? And\u2026, and\u2026, and\u2026?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
