A new cookbook titled The Weeknight Mediterranean Kitchen goes on sale Tuesday, July 24. It is published by Bellingham resident and author Samantha Ferraro, founder of The Little Ferraro Kitchen food blog, and features 80 authentic, healthy and easy recipes that can be made on even the busiest of weeknights.
