Chef duo Nadia Zerouali and Merijn Tol travelled through Spain, Southern Italy, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Lebanon. They don’t bring home photographs from their travels: they bring home flavours. Together with Nijgh Cuisine, they asked us to turn those flavours into a book.

Onder de Mediterrane Zon (Under the Mediterranean Sun) brings the warmth of each place into your kitchen. Stories and recipes alternate with photo spreads you can get lost in, designed to spark curiosity and appetite in equal measure.

We imagined it as a food lover’s One Thousand and One Nights: a hardcover with an embossed title, adorned with pomegranates.
