Origin[edit | edit source]

  • The idea of a Mediterranean cuisine originates with the cookery writer Elizabeth David's book, A Book of Mediterranean food (1950) and was amplified by other writers working in English.
  • Many writers define the three core elements of the cuisine as the olive, wheat, and the grape, yielding olive oil, bread and pasta, and wine; other writers deny that the widely varied foods of the Mediterranean basin constitute a cuisine at all.
  • A common definition of the geographical area covered, proposed by David, follows the distribution of the olive tree.
