A vibrant celebration of the shared flavors and traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean

Since Chef José Andrés opened the doors to his restaurant Zaytinya twenty years ago, food lovers have savored his creative adaptations of the classic dishes of Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon. Zaytinya’s menu has always showcased the region’s extraordinary food traditions while innovating in José’s signature style: delicious, surprising, and made for sharing.

From crispy fried vegetables and perfectly spiced seafood to tender grilled kebabs and warm, fluffy pita, these recipes are simply irresistible as well as accessible to the home cook. The smooth dips and delectable roasts will happily feed a family on a weeknight or friends over for weekend dinner.

Zaytinya—which draws its name from the Turkish word for olive oil—brings to life the ingredients, techniques, dishes, and histories that are central to the way many of us love to eat today.

From the Publisher

Greek Yogurt with Apricots

“A mixture of dry and canned (yes, canned!) apricots is the secret to this sweet and creamy dessert. It’s definitely my daughters’ favorite, and it’s been on our menu since we first opened our doors.”

Roasted Beet Salad (patzarosalata)

“Our version of this classic salad gets an extra hit of earthy flavor with a quick smoking of the beets before they are tossed in ladolemono.”

Greek Zucchini Fritters (kolokythokeftedes)

“‘Kolokythi’ (zucchini) plus ‘keftedaki’ (meatball). No matter how you say it (or not!), it’s one of our favorites—light fritters with a crunchy exterior and a sweet, creamy inside.”

Sesame Salmon

“This salmon recipe is inspired by a classic Lebanese dish, samak bi tahini—fish with tahini.”

Fattoush

“Without a doubt, this bright, tart, crunchy salad is one of our most popular dishes; it goes with everything.”

Greek Fish Soup (psarosoupa)

“This beautiful, simple, hearty fish soup celebrates the flavors of the Mediterranean.”
