How to use

A festive gift for a birthday, Christmas, housewarming or wedding. A popular little something to bring along for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine, pasta, antipasti and fish dishes. Also ideal for cooking-course beginners, because the eight components complement each other and cover a broad repertoire: from Italian pasta sugo to Greek gyros from the grill, from Marseille bouillabaisse to Oriental hummus with zatar.

Three recipe ideas from the box

• Spaghetti al pomodoro: sauté chopped tomatoes with garlic, season with Tuscan pasta spice, pour over spaghetti, top with parmesan and a pinch of Mélange du Jardin.
