Cookbook Club: Mediterranea

We’re celebrating the flavors of tradition with a community potluck inspired by Mediterranea: Life-perfected Recipes from Grandmothers of the Mediterranean by Anastasia Miari! This cookbook gathers time-honored dishes passed down through generations, bringing the warmth, wisdom, and soul of Mediterranean kitchens to our table. Pick up a copy at Townie Books or borrow ours, sign up for a dish, and share in the experience. Together, we’ll enjoy sun-soaked recipes, swap stories, and savor the joy of cooking like a nonna.
