Alimentari literally means 'good food and camaraderie' and that is

just what is celebrated at this cult cafe. Full of cafe and deli
favourites, Alimentari recipes are perfect for sharing and
entertaining with friends and family. It's where Mediterranean meets
Middle Eastern, and where delicious, wholesome ingredients and
accessible techniques combine to create the perfect book for home
cooking. Think incredible salads, beautiful breakfasts and dinners
 for entertaining or for the family.

The book starts with morning (early breakfast and brunch), midday
(light salads, takeaways, mains salads, sitting in), later (Lebanese,
from the woodfire, sweets). And finishes with pickles, preserves and
condiments.

Recipe examples include breakfast favourites such as spanish

tortilla; mini ciabatta with scrambled eggs, prosciutto, sea salt;
chickpea coriander fritters; and semolina porridge with rhubarb
compote. A dedicated salad section includes delicious recipes like
like soybean, kale, mint, spring onion and lemon salad; risoni pasta
with grilled zucchini, Greek feta, lemon and mint; mother-in-law
tabouleh salad; and lunch specials like felafel and kibbeh wraps;
stunning sanwiches; and chickpea, fregola and wild fennel soup.
Dinners include easy recipes for the family or fuss-free but
impressive meals that are perfect for entertaining like suckling pig
and fennel lasagne; meatballs; eggplant cannelloni filled with
ricotta; Portugese fish stew and cabbage rolls filled with mince
lamb, mint, rice, garlic and tomato. Dessert and afternoon tea lovers
are not forgotten with Persian love cake; fig and marscapone tartin;

breakfast or afternoon tea. It's the ideal book for the home cook who
wants to eat well without the fuss. Like having your favourite corner
cafe at home, Alimentari shares the secrets of the best recipes for
how we eat today.
