This book complements the author's Mediterranean Diet book. As a pescatarian (vegetarian plus fish), the original Mediterranean Diet provided more useful recipes, with wonderful soups, salads, grain, and legume dishes, as well as fruit dishes. This cookbook is considerably heavy on meat-based recipes.
All things in moderation...this balanced attitude toward food is why the diet of the sun-kissed Mediterranean is one of the world's most healthful. Let this simple plan be your guide to modifying the region's favorites into Americanized, good-for-you dinners you can savor with family and friends.
