Flavors of the Balearic Islands: Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185012765)

BALEARIC CUISINE: A Kitchen Born of Sea and Land
The geographical position of the Balearic Islands, at the heart of the western Mediterranean, has always shaped their gastronomy. The ever-present sea yields fish, shellfish, and crustaceans of exceptional quality: the red prawn of Sóller, the scarlet shrimp of Ibiza, the red lobster of Menorca, and the fried gerret from the beaches of Formentera - products that need no more than simple preparation to shine on any table.
Yet Balearic cuisine is not solely a maritime affair. The interior of the islands, particularly in Mallorca and Menorca, offers fertile land where the vegetables of trampó thrive alongside the melons of Vilafranca, almonds and carob trees, citrus groves, and centuries-old olive trees. This combination of sea and mountain gives rise to a gastronomy of contrasts: fresh yet hearty, simple yet refined. (Full-Color Images).
