Mediterranean cookbook:The Right Stuff(ing): The Full Guide for Delicious Stuffed Dishes

by Shira Barak

If you have told me a few years ago that what I would like to cook the most would be stuffed dishes, I would have not believe it. Stuffed dishes always looked delicious, but complicated and difficult to prepare, left to professional chefs or to those with lots of cooking experience.
I enjoyed eating them in restaurants but wouldn’t dare to try and actually preparing them myself.
Five years ago when I made my first stuffed pepper, I realized it is not as hard as I imagined. Actually it’s kind of fun and easy… then I began to indulge ... Something about the act of coring, filling and assembling makes cooking creative and fun. And the taste? The tastes are so good that they make the task of emptying, filling, rolling, arranging etc. rewarding and so worth the efforts!
Since my first stuffed pepper, I continued to fill and roll almost everything I laid my eyes on; grape leaves, beets, tomatoes, squash and zucchini. And the filing? Almost everything is possible according to your taste: Ground meat, rice or quinoa, cheese or dried fruit.
In this book you will find the best recipes for stuffed dishes collected especially for you and grouped by categories: meat and poultry, vegetarian and vegan, dairy and sweets.
And most importantly, I’ve attached the Complete Guide for making stuffed dishes: all the secrets, tips, and principles that will make you an expert in stuffed dishes! Guaranteed!

About the author

My name is Shira and I am a mother and a wife. Over the years, out of my love to cultures and people, I've traveled different countries and regions around the world: India, Nepal, Thailand, Morocco, the Middle East, Greece, Spain, the Balkans, and more When I arrive to a new place, what I particularly like is to try to remove my "tourist" way of thinking and try to really get the sense of the area , the culture and the people, as if I were local . With love and respect. I believe that the best way to connect to people and to really understand a culture is through its kitchen: through the spices, markets, different dishes, smells and flavors. Because I love to cook I'm often interested in different cultures cousin: I explore, taste, smell, experience and of course take pictures. Fortunately, I made good friends all over the world through my desire to learn and experience local cooking. I try to share this loves with the readers who also love culture and people, who wants to experience authentic cooking and believe as I do, that food is made with love. Enjoy the culinary journey!
