Description

'This is my dream cookbook ... A really evocative and delicious collection of recipes and a tantalising glimpse of a beautiful island' - Russell Norman, author of Polpo Shortlisted for the Food & Travel Cookery Book of the Year at the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2016. Ibiza is on the cusp of a food revolution. The island's traditional farming and fishing culture has been supplemented with a wave of chefs and producers making artisan products and vibrant food. Now Eivissa, the first recipe book to showcase the incredible Ibicenco dishes Ibiza cuisine has to offer, reveals how to recreate the tastes of the white island in your own home. Divided into seasonal chapters to reflect the ingredients in Ibiza, these are gorgeous recipes reflecting the heritage of the cuisine, yet with contemporary twists. Sample a really simply Grilled Courgette Ribbons, Asparagus & Mint Tostada from Spring, for example, or a Grapefruit & Juniper-Encrusted Pork Salad. Try Steamed Mussels with Samphire or Chicken with Roasted Figs from Autumn. Or treat yourself with a Ricotta Pine Nut Cake or Spiced Chocolate Truffles. Full of stunning photography shot on location in Ibiza, both of the recipes and the island's beautiful backdrop, these are recipes that are full of energy, warmth and enjoyment.

Check out the Eivissa recipe book by Anne Sijmonsbergen' - Style, Sunday Times '...like any good cookbook, it's worth buying for the aesthetic value alone.

Sampling dishes from local farmer Anne Sijmonsbergen's debut cookbook, Eivissa, is the next best option' - Vogue Online 'Not summering in Ibiza this year.
