From the Publisher
#1 Cookbook on the #1 Diet
Bring the Mediterranean into your kitchen!
The Mediterranean Way
Incorporate the vibrant, healthful principles of the Mediterranean diet into your daily routine while finding endless inspiration for delicious cooking.
The Mediterranean diet isn’t a ‘diet’ in the expected sense: It’s a way of cooking that puts a daily emphasis on vegetables, beans and legumes, grains, and more seafood than meat. It’s about eating delicious food in satisfying, moderate portions in good company and in combination with activity.
The recipes that we share from our cookbooks translate the famous Mediterranean diet for home cooks with a wide range of creative recipes—many fast enough for a weeknight—that use ingredients available at your local supermarket. Along the way, we introduce you to the fundamentals of cooking the Mediterranean way, with tips on how to incorporate those fundamentals into every meal.
The Fundamentals
Use Meats and Cheeses as Seasonings
Instead of using meats and cheeses as main ingredients, Mediterranean dishes often use them as seasonings. Dishes aren’t drowned in sauce, but instead drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil or a yogurt or tahini-based sauce to add flavor and richness.
Limit Unhealthy Fats and Focus on Unlocking Interesting Flavors
Eating the Mediterranean way will help you eliminate unhealthy saturated fats, salt, and calories. One way of doing that is to use lots of fresh herbs and spices in your cooking. Another way to bring out flavor is to utilize cooking techniques such as roasting, braising, and grilling.
Embrace the Health Benefits
With its high amounts of vegetables and olive oil, which contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, the Mediterranean diet has been said to promote healthy blood sugar levels, improve cognitive function, and even prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s and certain types of cancer.
