The author’s stone mortar and pestle in Mediterranean sunlight beside a fish mosaic, with mushrooms, fruit and berries

From the author’s kitchen

Dug up in the garden. Used every week.

Funny where you find inspiration: this old stone mortar was found in the ground during a dig in the garden. Now it grinds the spices, herbs and seeds for many of the recipes in this book.
