Garlic, Olive Oil + Everything Mediterranean: Simple Recipes for the Home Cook

In Garlic, Olive Oil + Everything Mediterranean: Simple Recipes for the Home Cook, Daen Lia distills the essence of Mediterranean flavor into a collection of vibrant, approachable dishes built on just a few stellar ingredients—garlic, olive oil, butter, bread, crumbs, and eggs. Each recipe bursts with bold Mediterranean flair, drawing on her Spanish and Italian roots to create food that’s both comforting and unforgettable.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Silky garlic confit: A viral sensation that transforms everyday dishes—from ragu to toast—into crave-worthy comfort.

• Crisp, cheesy focaccia and roasted garlic bread, perfect for leisurely slicing and sharing.

• One-pan wonders, like crispy chicken thighs with caramelized onions and roasted fish puttanesca brimming with cherry tomatoes.

• Wholesome, pantry-friendly staples: Think pesto gnocchi, popcorn-style eggplant, and spinach-feta quiche wrapped in puff pastry.

Daen’s philosophy is refreshingly simple: elevate humble ingredients with minimal fuss and maximum flavor. With stunning photography and easy-to-follow steps, this 176-page hardcover is the kind of cookbook you’ll keep on your counter—and cook from every day.

Garlic, Olive Oil + Everything Mediterranean is more than just a recipe book—it’s an invitation to live the Mediterranean way: sharing, savoring, and celebrating the magic of everyday cooking.
