Mediterranean Diet
Rich in culture and food history, the nations on the shores of the
brilliant azure Mediterranean Sea—Italy, Spain, France, Morocco, Greece,
Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and Israel—have all contributed something
special to the colorful, vibrant tapestry that is Mediterranean cuisine.
Key components of Mediterranean cuisine include heart-healthy olive
oil, protein-rich legumes, fish and whole grains with moderate amounts
of wine and red meat. The flavors are rich, and the health benefits for
people choosing a Mediterranean diet are hard to ignore—they are less
likely to develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol or become obese.
This collection features delicious and nourishing recipes that evoke
the essence of the Mediterranean region while helping you work your way
toward optimal health.
