"Mediterranean Every Day embraces a style of cooking that celebrates flavor while embracing a relaxed, flexible attitude.

Celebrate the seasons with a Spicy Broccoli Rabe and Chickpea Skillet, Lentil Fritters with Herbed Yogurt Dip, a Zucchini Farro Bake, and risotto ideas for winter, spring, summer, and fall. Pantry Pastas: Who doesn't love a diet that lets you eat pasta?
