The perfect paella, the perfect bouillabaisse, the perfect pesto. And much more... A river of gold flows through the crescent that is Spain's east coast, France's south coast and Italy's west coast - the olive oil that is their common cooking medium. They never cook with butter or fat, and they use meat only as an occasional flavouring. They share a love of seafood, garlic, pulses, herbs and vegetables that contribute to robust health without even trying. Coastline explores the way of life of communities with diverse dialects but a common language in the joy of eating... It's a collection of stories, approx. 80 recipes, debates and beautiful images from the fishing villages, farms and cobbled squares around the golden crescent.
