Kremezi advocates a ânose-to-tailâ approach to fruit and veg; minimizing waste is not only eco-friendly, it âforces the cook to invent new and exciting dishes.â In these recipes from the Med (including Lebanon, Turkey, Syria and Tunisia) she reveals the ancient roots of 'trendy' ingredients such as tahini, preserved lemons and farro, going beyond âold vs. new' to show that good cooking is truly timeless.
