Gluten-free Mediterranean: Your favourite Mediterranean dishes reimagined, from pillowy breads and hearty mains to syrupy sweets

Description

'Growing up in Sydney's multicultural inner west, I was surrounded by migrants from various countries spanning the Mediterranean. My Lebanese neighbours taught me the secret to the best mejadra, the Cypriots across the road introduced me to koupes and haloumi bread, and my mother would exchange Greek syrupy sweets for pistachio biscotti and olive and rosemary focaccia with the Italians down the street.' More a way of life than a diet, the Mediterranean style of eating is embraced around the world for its simplicity, health benefits and downright deliciousness. Now you can enjoy all your favourite dishes from Greece, Italy, Spain, Lebanon and more, minus the gluten. Helen Tzouganatos, host of SBS Food's Loving Gluten Free, shows you just how simple it is to cook delicious gluten-free versions of Mediterranean classics, with clever ingredient swaps that not even Yiayia or Tayta will notice. From the fluffiest focaccia and crispiest loukoumades to the easiest seafood paella and most decadent chocolate roulade, you won't believe these family favourites are gluten free.
