Backed by the latest nutritional science, this paperback explains not just what to eat, but when and why, making it an essential addition to any health-conscious kitchen shelf, whether you are new to the diet or a seasoned devotee looking to deepen your understanding. About the Book Renowned for its rich history, stunning coastline, and famously long-lived populations, the Mediterranean region has become a byword for healthy eating. Major scientific studies have repeatedly shown that a diet built around olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, whole grains, fruits and vegetables can meaningfully reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic illness. In this book, internationally recognised Mediterranean cuisine expert Amy Riolo moves beyond the simplified, Westernised versions of the diet found in many other cookbooks, instead presenting the cuisine as it is genuinely eaten across Italy, Greece, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey and beyond. Each of the 100 recipes is set within the framework of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, so readers can see exactly how frequently a dish should feature in a balanced weekly diet. Alongside every recipe, a "Mediterranean Tradition" sidebar offers cultural history, entertaining anecdotes, and nutritional insight, turning the cookbook into a genuine armchair journey around the region as well as a practical kitchen companion. Drawing on the latest clinical findings, Riolo dispels common myths about the diet while showing home cooks how simple, seasonal, and satisfying truly authentic Mediterranean cooking can be, whether you are cooking for one or entertaining a full table. 100 authentic, easy-to-follow recipes from across the Mediterranean region Recipes organised using the official Mediterranean Diet Pyramid for balanced eating Backed by the latest nutritional research and clinical findings Cultural "Mediterranean Tradition" tips accompany every recipe Written by an internationally recognised Mediterranean diet expert Ideal gift for anyone pursuing a healthier, longer-lasting lifestyle About the Author Amy Riolo is an award-winning, best-selling cookbook author, chef, television personality, and educator widely regarded as one of America's foremost authorities on Mediterranean cuisine and culture.
