Mediterranean Recipes
Mediterranean cooking — hearty lentil soup, a roasted-vegetable quinoa bowl, a golden flaky spanakopita in buttered phyllo, and a layered moussaka under a golden béchamel crown, a silky avgolemono lemon-chicken soup thickened with egg and lemon, char-grilled lemon-oregano souvlaki skewers with cool tzatziki, and the original saffron paella valenciana with its crackly socarrat, all built on olive oil and patience — 7 tested recipes.
Mediterranean cooking is less a set of recipes than a shopping list: good olive oil, legumes, vegetables, and grain. A proper lentil soup, a roasted-veggie quinoa bowl, a golden, flaky spanakopita baked in buttery phyllo, and a deeply baked moussaka under a blistered béchamel crown, a pot of avgolemono turned silky with its egg-lemon emulsion, lemon-oregano souvlaki skewers charred on a hot grill, and a wide pan of saffron paella with its crackly socarrat show off the whole idea — food that is quietly filling, vegetable-forward, and never complicated.

Roasted Veggie Quinoa Bowl
Caramelized sheet-pan vegetables, fluffy quinoa, crispy chickpeas, and a lemon-tahini drizzle. The meal-prep bowl that never gets boring.
Mediterranean
Spanakopita (Greek Spinach & Feta Pie)
A proper Greek spanakopita — crisp, buttered phyllo wrapped around a bright filling of spinach, feta, and dill. Golden, flaky, and sliceable, with a no-soggy-bottom method.
Mediterranean
Moussaka (Greek Eggplant & Lamb Bake)
A proper Greek moussaka — spiced lamb ragout under fried eggplant and a tall, blistered béchamel crown. Baked until deeply golden, sliceable in neat layers, with a no-watery-layers method.
Mediterranean
Souvlaki (Greek Chicken Skewers)
Proper Greek souvlaki — lemon-oregano marinated chicken threaded on skewers and char-grilled until juicy inside and golden outside, served with warm pita and cool tzatziki.
Mediterranean
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia — bomba rice simmered in saffron chicken stock with chicken, rabbit, flat beans and butter beans, finished with the crackly socarrat every paella dreams of.
Mediterranean
Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken Rice Soup)
Avgolemono — the silky Greek lemon chicken rice soup with the famous egg-lemon broth: rice simmered in golden chicken stock, tempered egg-and-lemon stirred in off the heat until the soup turns velvety, bright, and cloud-like. Naturally gluten-free, on the table in about an hour.
