Readers expecting a comprehensive academic study of Mediterranean history will be disappointed; this is strictly a practical collection aimed at casual enthusiasts. It does not suit serious food historians or those requiring precise nutritional data. The reliance on 'essential ingredients' suggests a broad, perhaps shallow, approach rather than deep regional expertise. However, for a light, engaging introduction to the subject matter with its accompanying 20 line drawings, it serves as an adequate, if unambitious, entry point into the genre.
