Explore the diverse cuisine of Spain's Balearic Islands – Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera – through 155 authentic home-cooked recipes. The Balearic Islands, located in the Mediterranean, are known for their natural beauty, while their cuisine has largely remained underrated. This collection of recipes takes you into the family kitchens, cafes, and markets of the archipelago, revealing a unique gastronomic heritage shaped by the region's geography.

The islands' most beloved dishes celebrate local produce, familiar Mediterranean ingredients – olive oil and garlic, rice and fresh fish – as well as inventive cooking methods passed down through generations. From Menorcan stuffed eggplants, grilled fish with spinach and Swiss chard, black rice with squid and artichoke, and pork with wild mushrooms to roasted figs, almond biscuits, and Formentera's most famous dessert, fresh cheese tart with mint, the book's recipes include both sweet and savory classic options.

Alongside the plethora of delicious dishes, acclaimed author Jeff Koehler presents vivid short essays that highlight the gastronomic traditions, such as the weekly village markets and Saint Martin's Day celebrations; the local ingredients, including meat products and tomato jams; and the essential techniques, like making a perfect sofregit. Illustrated with stunning photographs of the foods and landscapes, the book “The Spanish Mediterranean Islands Cookbook” captures the essence of one of the world's most enchanting destinations.
