Mediterranean Harvest proves that eating vegetables can be the greatest of pleasures. The recipes are fabulous and easy to follow. Even better, they are Mediterranean, which means they could not be more delicious. I cant think of a healthier or happier way of eating.

PREFACE

THE CUISINES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN CAPTURED MY TASTE BUDS long ago, certainly long before I knew I was going to have a career as a cook and cookbook author. I can trace it back to a poetic moment. I was fifteen years old, picnicking on a canal somewhere in the South of France with a bunch of privileged teenagers and a couple of French counselors, on a high school kids' European tour. I held in my hand the largest peach I'd ever seen. I took a big bite. The sensations went on and on: juice, sweetness, perfume, a flavor deeper than any peach flavor I'd ever known. The color was a dark, expressive yellow with tinges of pink. The aroma continued long after I'd swallowed.

I'm not as cavalier about discussing my age as I used to be. So let us just say that more than a few decades have gone by since that moment. Yet the memory doesn't fade. I can recall every bite of the peach, right down to the pit. I have only one other food memory from that trip, which took my brother Peter and me all over Europe, from Switzerland to Germany and Austria, to Paris and Spain, and to Italy. It was a plate of pasta. We'd just arrived in Venice and gone to lunch at a small trattoria. It was spaghetti, or maybe tagliatelle, with a smooth tomato sauce, nothing more. What I remember about that pasta is that there wasn't too much of it (it was a novelty to me that pasta was just the first course of a meal, followed by fish, salad, and cheese); that the sauce was a pure, concentrated expression of ripe tomatoes; and that the pasta wasn't swimming in it. You could see the noodles through the sauce, and when I finished eating them no sauce remained on the plate.

Eight years passed between that moment on the canal and a moment when, at the age of 23, I had an epiphany and decided I would make cooking my work. During those years I finished high school, went to college, dropped out of college and worked with Mexican American migrant farmworkers in south Texas, moved to Austin, Texas, and again enrolled in school. I had learned to cook along the way and loved doing it, but back in those days you didn't go to culinary school just because you loved to cook. You just cooked.
