Discover the rich culinary heritage of Spain’s Balearic Islands — Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera — through 155 authentic home-cooking recipes.

Nestled in the Spanish Mediterranean, the Balearics are known for their natural beauty, but their cuisine remains a hidden gem. This evocative collection transports readers to family kitchens, bustling markets, and seaside cafés, offering a glimpse into a food culture shaped by the islands’ landscapes and traditions.

The recipes celebrate local produce and classic Mediterranean staples — olive oil, garlic, fresh fish, and rice — alongside time-honored cooking methods passed down through generations. From Menorcan-Style Stuffed Eggplant and Black Rice with Cuttlefish and Artichokes to Baked Figs and Formentera’s signature Fresh Cheesecake with Mint, each dish reflects the islands’ distinct flavors.

Acclaimed author Jeff Koehler complements the recipes with thoughtful essays on local traditions — from weekly village markets to St Martin’s Day celebrations — and insights into key ingredients and techniques, like crafting the perfect sofregit.

Illustrated with stunning photography of both food and landscape, The Spanish Mediterranean Islands Cookbook captures the essence of these enchanting islands — one dish at a time.
