[Mediterranean Feast] The Saveur 100.  Voted Most Delicious History Book You Can Cook From.  “Food-in-context has never been more thoroughly (and more cookably) presented."
- Saveur magazine


If there is a cookbook of the year, this [Mediterranean Feast] is it.  A remarkably ambitious work....The subject is vast, the scope of time daunting, but Wright comes across as a cheerful, dedicated scholar who was sorry when he had to stop.  Recipes are written to be accessible to contemporary cooks.
- William Rice, Chicago Tribune
