Coastline

By Lucio Galletto & David Dale

Coastline explores the legacy of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Vikings, who left the gift of a cuisine of the sun, flavored with generosity and conviviality. Mediterranean recipes include salads, pasta sauces, pizza and pies, soups and stews, family feasts and desserts from the fishing villages, farms and cobbled squares around the golden crescent. Learn to cook up: vibrant fresh pesto; shrimp in almond batter; fried ravioli with Swiss chard and pumpkin fillings; Socca or Farinata (crisp chickpea pancakes); the definitive bouillabaisse; hearty lentil and chorizo stew; and crisp Xurros (churros) with chocolate.
