The eating style proven to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

“An irresistible invitation to share the healthiest diet in the world. It has one alluring recipe after another, each one fragrant with the fresh aromas of the ingredients I love the most: fish right out of the water, ripe vegetables from open-air markets, herbs from the garden. This book makes an overwhelming argument that the things that taste the best are good for you.” —Alice Waters

Spanning the Mediterranean from Spain to France, Italy, and Greece, with side trips

to Lebanon, Cyprus, and North Africa, this revised and updated edition of Nancy Harmon

Jenkins’s acclaimed cookbook offers ninety-two mouthwatering new dishes plus the

latest information about the nutritional benefits of one of the world’s healthiest

cuisines. But best of all are the recipes—bursting with flavor, easy to prepare,

and sure to please everyone at your table, whether you’re cooking for yourself, your

family, or your friends.

Known for classic favorites like tabbouleh and ratatouille,

flatbreads, pastas, zesty herbs, and flavorful oils pressed from succulent olives,

the Mediterranean diet combines delicious taste with health-supportive ingredients

as few other cuisines do. With an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes,

fish, lean meats, and heavenly desserts, here are recipes for over 250 outstanding

dishes created for today’s American kitchens. You’ll also find new cooking techniques

and a simplified approach to cooking—because simplicity is what the Mediterranean

way of eating is all about.

Experienced and novice cooks alike will be inspired

by these delectable, seasonally inspired recipes ranging from sweet young Roman-style

peas for spring to skewered shrimp for summer, robust North African Pumpkin Soup when autumn is in the air, and warming winter dishes like Lebanese Garlicky Roast

Chicken and Cypriote Braised Pork with Wine, Cinnamon, and Coriander—plus a variety

of fabulous pizzas and dinner pies, hearty salads like Tuscan panzanella, and satisfying

small dishes known as tapas. Also included is a special selection of traditional

dishes prepared for Islamic, Jewish, and Christian holidays that can be enjoyed year

round.

Rich in flavor and healthy nutrients but low in saturated fats and cholesterol,

here are recipes that will delight your palate, nourish body and soul—and can be

prepared with ease in your home kitchen.
