Chef Gorji specializes in his signature New Mediterranean cuisine that he serves at [Canary By Gorji](http://www.chefgorji.com/index.htm) and that he details in his easy to read and follow cookbook Zing! By Gorji. Pure olive oil. Lots of limes. Few batters, coatings, or rubs. No tahini in that hummus. Instead, an imaginative, personal, and highly memorable take on enhancing natural flavors that shows you how to use not so usual ingredients like pomegranates, barberries and sumac to infuse your cooking with freshness and flavor.
New Mediterranean," Gorji explains, refers to foods that are rooted in the countries around the Mediterranean basin France, Italy, Spain, Greece, the Middle East, Turkey, and North Africa. His recipes, the chef notes, are not defined by nationality but are rather cross-border combinations and new takes on traditional dishes."
